PMI Calculator (Quick Estimate)

This page gives a practical way to estimate private mortgage insurance (PMI). Most conventional loans charge PMI when your down payment is below 20%.

Quick estimate: Annual PMI = loan amount × PMI rate, then divide by 12 for a monthly estimate. A common range is 0.3% to 1.5% depending on credit, down payment, and loan profile.

PMI Removal Basics

Federal rules generally require automatic PMI termination at 78% loan-to-value under certain conditions. You can often request cancellation around 80% LTV if payment history and other requirements are met.
