Deep Dive

How to use the VA Loan Estimator

1

The VA Loan is one of the most powerful mortgage programs available to veterans, active-duty service members, and surviving spouses. It requires zero down payment and does not charge Monthly Mortgage Insurance (PMI).

2

Instead of monthly PMI, the VA charges a one-time 'Funding Fee' to keep the program operational. This fee varies based on your down payment amount and whether it is your first time using the VA entitlement.

3

The calculator automatically identifies your exact Funding Fee tier based on the latest VA guidelines, adds it to your base loan amount (as most veterans roll it into the loan), and calculates your true monthly Principal and Interest payment.
