Protect the cash before closing day.

Estimate B.C. property transfer tax, identify the first-time-buyer threshold, and check whether a temporary high balance fits one deposit-protection category. No bank ranking, rate promise or referral bonus required.

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.

Above one CDIC categoryNot automatically uninsured; categories and institutions matter

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.

B.C. authorized credit union

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.

Next useful step

Continue by job, not hype.

Choose an owned Bremo tool only if it matches the decision you actually need. Provider clicks and page visits are not paid conversions.

Current primary sources

Verify the rule before moving money.

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.
