About RBC Royal Bank
RBC is one of Canada's Big Five banks. Clients whose mortgages moved over from HSBC Bank Canada in 2024 kept different prepayment terms from other RBC borrowers.
RBC prepayment privileges
Standard RBC closed mortgages allow a lump sum of up to 10% of the original principal once every 12 months, and a payment increase of up to 10% once every 12 months. Borrowers migrated from HSBC in 2024 have 20% / 20% privileges with a combined 20% cap. Model what a lump sum does to your amortization in the prepayment savings calculator.
Porting a RBC mortgage
RBC mortgages can be ported when you buy and sell at the same time. If the purchase closes first, the two closings must be within 120 days; if the sale closes first, you have 120 days to complete the port. The port must go to a single property.
How RBC calculates the penalty to break
Variable: three months' interest. Fixed: the greater of three months' interest or an IRD calculated against RBC's posted rate for a term similar to your remaining term, less the rate reduction you received, discounted to present value. Estimate the difference between the two methods in the mortgage penalty calculator.
What that means for you
RBC's 10% / 10% privileges are at the lower end of the big banks, so a borrower who plans to pay down aggressively should model it before committing. The 120-day porting window is clearly stated, which helps anyone timing a sale and purchase.
How this calculator works
Canadian fixed-rate mortgages state their rate compounded semi-annually, not in advance — the convention that follows from section 6 of the federal Interest Act. The calculator converts the rate you enter into the equivalent rate for your payment frequency, so monthly, bi-weekly and weekly results stay consistent. Accelerated bi-weekly pays half the monthly amount every two weeks, which adds the equivalent of one extra monthly payment a year.
