Readvanceable Account Planner

Manulife One Calculator

Compare a Manulife One readvanceable all-in-one account against a traditional Canadian mortgage. See how much faster you'd be debt-free — and how much interest your idle cash could save — at your own income, expenses and rate.

Your home & Manulife One account

Manulife One is a readvanceable account secured by your home. The credit limit is set as a percentage of your home value (65% uninsured is standard, up to 80% with mortgage insurance). Inside that limit you can hold your mortgage, lines of credit and chequing as one balance.

Manulife One is a prepayment machine for the more disciplined borrowers.

Debt consolidation & savings applied

One of M1's biggest wins is rolling high-interest debt (credit cards, car loans, unsecured lines of credit) into the secured account at the M1 rate. Existing cash savings can also be parked here on day one to instantly cut the interest-bearing balance — you can still pull the cash back out anytime via the HELOC portion.

Optional fixed-rate sub-account

Inside M1 you can lock a portion of the balance into a fixed-rate, fixed-term sub-account — handy if you want payment certainty on part of the debt. The rest stays variable and benefits from your daily cash flow. Leave at $0 to keep everything variable.

Your monthly cash flow

The whole point of Manulife One is that every dollar of net income sits against your balance until you spend it. The bigger the gap between income and expenses — and the longer cash idles in the account — the more interest you save.

Compares your current Canadian fixed-rate mortgage (semi-annual compounding, plus any consolidated debts amortised over 5 years at their blended rate) against a Manulife One-style readvanceable account at the M1 rate. The traditional scenario assumes any monthly surplus sits in chequing earning nothing. The M1 scenario applies that surplus against the variable balance every month, rolls in your other debts at the lower M1 rate, applies existing savings on day one, and drops your annual lump sum onto the balance every 12 months. M1 rate is typically prime + a spread — check Manulife's posted rates for live numbers.

How it works: the traditional scenario runs a standard Canadian fixed-rate amortization (semi-annual compounding) and assumes any monthly surplus sits in chequing earning nothing. The Manulife One scenario deposits your net income against the balance at the start of each month, draws expenses straight-line through the month, and accrues interest on the average daily balance — which is the actual mechanic that makes the product save interest.
