Calculation notes

Understand the VA home loan payment calculator

Base loan = price − down payment. The funding fee uses exemption, down-payment tier, and first/subsequent use; financing it adds the fee to principal. Monthly cost includes principal, interest, tax, insurance, and HOA. The calculation runs locally and keeps cash-flow timing consistent with the stated assumptions.

Formula and logic

How is a VA purchase funding fee calculated by down payment and prior use?

Base loan = price − down payment. The funding fee uses exemption, down-payment tier, and first/subsequent use; financing it adds the fee to principal. Monthly cost includes principal, interest, tax, insurance, and HOA.

Worked example

What is the first-use VA funding fee on a $400,000 zero-down home?

On a $400,000 first-use purchase with no down payment, the 2.15% funding fee is $8,600. Financing it creates a $408,600 loan before other closing costs.

How to read the result

Does a VA home loan require monthly mortgage insurance?

  • VA-backed purchase loans do not require monthly mortgage insurance.
  • A fee exemption or larger down payment can materially change cash-to-close and financed principal.
Limits and assumptions

How does financing the VA funding fee change payment and cash to close?

  • Uses current standard purchase-loan funding-fee tiers and a user override. It does not establish VA eligibility, entitlement, loan limits, appraisal results, lender pricing, seller credits, exemptions, or final closing costs.
