Deep Dive

How the FHA Loan Calculator Works

1

To use the calculator, enter key financial details such as the home price, down payment amount (minimum 3.5% for FHA), loan term, and interest rate.

2

The tool then calculates your monthly mortgage payment, including principal, interest, taxes, and both upfront and ongoing mortgage insurance premiums (UFMIP and MIP).

3

For example, if you’re purchasing a $350,000 home with a 3.5% down payment, the calculator will estimate the FHA loan amount, add the required UFMIP (typically 1.75% of the base loan), and spread the annual MIP over your monthly payments. This provides a clear, all-inclusive estimate of what you’ll owe each month.
