A prepayment penalty is a fee that your mortgage lender may charge if you:
- transfer your mortgage to another lender before the end of your term
- pay more than the allowed additional amount toward your mortgage
- break your mortgage contract
- pay back your entire mortgage before the end of your term, including when you sell your home
Your lender may also call the prepayment penalty a prepayment charge or breakage cost.*
