PMI Calculator

A PMI calculator estimates Private Mortgage Insurance costs when your down payment is less than 20%. PMI protects the lender (not you) and can add $100-$500 or more to your monthly payment.

PMI Calculator Implementation

``javascript function calculatePMI(homePrice, downPaymentPercent, creditScore, loanAmount = null) { const ltv = 100 - downPaymentPercent; if (ltv <= 80) return { pmi: 0, message: 'No PMI required' };

const loan = loanAmount || homePrice * (1 - downPaymentPercent / 100);

// PMI rates by LTV and credit (simplified) let rate; if (creditScore >= 760) rate = ltv > 90 ? 0.55 : ltv > 85 ? 0.41 : 0.30; else if (creditScore >= 700) rate = ltv > 90 ? 0.78 : ltv > 85 ? 0.52 : 0.40; else rate = ltv > 90 ? 1.10 : ltv > 85 ? 0.78 : 0.52;

const annualPMI = loan * (rate / 100); return { monthlyPMI: (annualPMI / 12).toFixed(2), annualPMI: annualPMI.toFixed(2), rate: rate + '%', ltv: ltv + '%' }; }

console.log(calculatePMI(300000, 10, 720)); // { monthlyPMI: '117.00', annualPMI: '1404.00', rate: '0.52%', ltv: '90%' } ``

Removing PMI

PMI automatically terminates when your LTV reaches 78% through payments. You can request removal at 80% LTV. Refinancing or appraisal showing increased home value can also eliminate PMI sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PMI?

Private Mortgage Insurance is required on conventional loans when you put less than 20% down. It protects the lender if you default. PMI typically costs 0.3% to 1.5% of the loan amount annually.

How do I avoid PMI?

Put 20% or more down, use a VA loan (no PMI), or get a piggyback loan (80/10/10). Some lenders offer lender-paid PMI (LPMI) in exchange for a higher interest rate.

When does PMI go away?

By law, PMI must be cancelled at 78% LTV based on original amortization. You can request removal at 80% LTV. Home appreciation through refinancing or reappraisal can also eliminate PMI if your equity reaches 20%.
