Canada home insurance estimator
Free Canada home insurance calculator. Estimate your annual and monthly premium from rebuild value, contents, location, deductible and home vs tenant cover — private.
How to use
- Enter rebuild and contents value. Add the cost to rebuild your home (not its market price) and the value of your contents. Higher values raise the estimate.
- Choose home or tenant cover. Pick home insurance (structure plus contents) or tenant insurance (contents only). The tool prices each so you can compare.
- Set location and deductible. Select your location risk and deductible. A higher deductible lowers your premium; higher-risk areas raise it.
- Review your estimate. See your estimated annual and monthly premium in $, the typical range, and each factor's contribution.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a real home insurance quote?
No. It is an educational estimate based on published Canadian averages and standard rating factors. Real prices depend on your province, postal code, home and insurer, so get quotes for exact figures.
Should I use rebuild value or market price?
Rebuild value — the cost to rebuild your home if it were destroyed. Canadian insurers price on this, not the market or purchase price, and the two can differ significantly.
What is the difference between home and tenant insurance?
Home insurance covers the structure and your contents; tenant (renters) insurance covers your contents only, because the landlord insures the building. The tool prices both.
Why does my mortgage lender require insurance?
Lenders require buildings cover to protect the property securing your mortgage. That is why home insurance is usually mandatory until the loan is repaid.
How does the deductible affect my premium?
A higher deductible means you pay more out of pocket on a claim, so the insurer charges a lower premium. The tool lets you compare deductible levels.
