TD prime rate

TD's prime rate is 4.95%. It has remained unchanged since March 2025.

TD’s prime rate is the basis for its variable-rate lending products, like mortgages, lines of credit and some credit cards. When the Bank of Canada adjusts its overnight rate, TD’s prime rate increases or decreases by the same amount, affecting the cost of borrowing for these products.

TD is unique in that it also has a prime mortgage rate, which it applies to variable-rate mortgage products. TD’s current prime mortgage rate is 5.10%.

TD mortgages: A detailed breakdown

Posted rates vs. special rates

Large lenders like TD often provide two sets of current mortgage rates: posted rates and special, or discounted, rates.

TD posted mortgage rates

TD’s posted rates are the pre-discounted mortgage rates the bank makes publicly available. Posted rates can be much higher than discounted rates, with the expectation that borrowers will negotiate them down.

There are various theories around why this is the case at major lenders. Some lending experts believe it’s to make borrowers feel a sense of satisfaction at getting a better deal, others wonder if a higher posted rate allows banks to charge stiffer penalties if a person breaks their mortgage contract.

If you’re offered a posted rate when you first walk into a TD branch, consider it the beginning of a negotiation — and a great reason to compare offers from other lenders.

TD special rates

Special rates are TD’s posted rates that have already been discounted. These might be limited time offers or the rates the bank offers its mortgage broker partners. Under most circumstances, a special rate will be more in line with the rate you’re actually offered.

Even if you’re offered a special mortgage rate at TD, don’t be afraid to try and negotiate a lower one.

Fixed vs. variable mortgage rates

When you get a mortgage from a lender like TD, you’ll have to make an important choice between a fixed or variable mortgage rate.

Fixed mortgage rates

With a fixed-rate mortgage, your interest rate will remain the same for the duration of your mortgage term. If TD offers you a 4% five-year fixed mortgage rate in 2025, for example, your rate won’t change until it’s time to renew your mortgage in 2030.

A fixed mortgage interest rate allows you to budget around a predictable monthly mortgage payment for years at a time. But if fixed rates fall during your mortgage term, the only way to take advantage is by breaking your mortgage contract and refinancing at a lower rate. Doing so can trigger steep mortgage prepayment penalties.

Variable mortgage rates

If you opt for a variable rate on your TD mortgage, the rate could rise or fall many times during your term. When it rises, more of your monthly mortgage payment will go toward interest; when it falls, more will go toward the principal.

Variable mortgage rates have generally been lower than fixed rates. But in times of high inflation, when variable rates are driven upward by increases to lenders’ prime rates, variable rates can put unexpected pressure on your finances.

From March 2022 to July 2023, for example, homeowners with variable-rate mortgages saw their rates increase 475 basis points. That means a borrower who secured a variable rate of 2.25% in January of 2022 would be paying 7% in July 2023. That’s not a common occurrence, but it highlights the risk of taking out a variable-rate mortgage during times of economic uncertainty.

Open vs. closed mortgages

Another consideration when getting a mortgage at TD is whether to choose an open or closed mortgage.

With an open mortgage, you can increase your mortgage payments or even pay your mortgage in full at any time without penalty. A closed mortgage will impose annual limits on how much you can prepay your mortgage.

Choosing between open and closed mortgages is often a matter of cost. Open mortgages tend to come with much higher interest rates.

Convertible mortgages

If you’re unsure how long you’d like a mortgage contract to last, you can also consider a convertible mortgage. TD offers a six-month, closed convertible mortgage that can be extended to a longer term at any time.

A convertible mortgage can be a helpful option if you expect mortgage rates to fall in the near future. If rates decline to a level you’re satisfied with, you can lock in for several years and pay less in interest.

Rate vs. APR

When investigating TD’s mortgage rates or comparing them to rates from other lenders, it’s best to use the annual percentage rate (APR) provided rather than the interest rate itself.

APR includes any other fees that might be added to the cost of your mortgage, and gives you a more accurate figure with which to calculate your potential mortgage costs.

How to get the best mortgage rate at TD

As one of Canada’s federally regulated A lenders, TD follows the country’s strict lending guidelines. That means qualifying for the best mortgage rates at TD might require a little effort on your part, including:

  • Raising your credit score. A high credit score tells TD that you pay your debts on time, which means less risk for them. The lower the risk profile, the lower the mortgage rate.

  • Making a larger down payment. Making a significant down payment shows TD that you prioritize home ownership and allows the bank to loan you less money. Both interpretations mean less risk, which allows the bank to improve its rate offer.

  • Lowering your debt service ratios. If your debt service ratios are high, it signals to lenders that too much of your income is already going toward paying down debt, which can be a red flag.

  • Shopping around. TD may not offer the best mortgage rate. Take a look at the rates other lenders are charging to find out whose offer is the right fit.

  • Negotiating: Don’t be afraid to ask TD if they can improve on the rate they’ve offered you. Let them know that you’ll be consulting other lenders before making a final decision.
