What is the fha loan calculator?

In short

An FHA loan requires a minimum 3.5% down payment (with 580+ credit score) and includes mortgage insurance: a 1.75% upfront MIP added to the loan balance, plus annual MIP of 0.55–1.05% paid monthly.

This calculator computes your full FHA monthly payment including principal, interest, upfront MIP (financed into the loan), annual MIP, property taxes, and homeowner's insurance. It also shows whether a conventional loan would cost less at the same purchase price.

How to use this calculator

  1. 1Enter the home purchase price.
  2. 2Enter your down payment (minimum 3.5% for FHA with 580+ credit score).
  3. 3Enter the interest rate from your lender quote.
  4. 4Enter the loan term (30 years is most common for FHA).
  5. 5Optionally enter property tax rate and annual insurance to see the full PITI payment.

The formula

financed=loan+(loan×1.75%)
total payment=PI+MIP+tax+insurance
The base loan plus 1.75% upfront MIP is amortized at your interest rate. Annual MIP (0.55% for most loans) is divided by 12 and added monthly. Total PITI = P&I + monthly MIP + property tax + homeowner's insurance.
MIP
— Mortgage Insurance Premium — required on all FHA loans
UFMIP
— Upfront MIP (1.75% of base loan, typically financed)
PITI
— Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance — your total monthly housing payment

Frequently asked questions

MIP (Mortgage Insurance Premium) is FHA's version of PMI. There's an upfront MIP of 1.75% of the loan amount (usually financed into the loan) and an annual MIP of 0.55–1.05% paid monthly. If your down payment is under 10%, you pay annual MIP for the entire loan life. With 10%+ down, MIP ends after 11 years.
