Closing-cash planner
Separate tax from the rest.
Enter your own planning amounts. Bremo calculates only the published general B.C. tax and keeps exemptions, legal adjustments and provider decisions visibly separate.
No address, name, email or dollar amount is transmitted
General B.C. PTT—Before exemptions or additional tax
Cash to plan—Your temporary cash + PTT + allowance
Above one CDIC category—Not automatically uninsured; categories and institutions matter
—
Transaction-specific review required. The estimate does not price additional property transfer tax, a mixed-use allocation, GST, legal adjustments or an exemption decision.
This is an educational planning estimate—not legal or financial advice, an eligibility decision, a deposit guarantee, a customer, paid conversion, revenue or profit event. Official records and your lawyer or institution control.
Deposit-protection check
Two systems. Different boundaries.
The institution name alone is not enough. Confirm the legal member or authorized credit union, the exact product and, for CDIC, the category and combined principal plus interest.
CDIC member institution
CDIC says each eligible deposit category at a member institution is insured separately up to $100,000, including principal and interest. Multiple categories can create more total coverage; they do not make every product eligible.
BCFSA says eligible deposits at B.C. authorized credit unions are fully guaranteed with no dollar limit. Equity shares, mutual funds, crypto-assets and other non-deposit investments are not eligible deposits.
B.C. publishes general marginal rates of 1% through $200,000, 2% from $200,000 through $2 million and 3% above $2 million, plus a further 2% on residential value above $3 million. For qualifying first-time buyers, the current property-value threshold provides the exemption amount on the first $500,000 through $835,000, phases out below $860,000 and ends at $860,000.
