1. What is an FHA Mortgage Calculator With PMI?

Definition: This calculator estimates the monthly payment for an FHA loan including the Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP).

Purpose: It helps homebuyers understand their potential monthly payments when using an FHA loan, which requires mortgage insurance.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard mortgage formula adjusted for FHA's MIP:

\[ M = \frac{(P + MIP) \times r(1 + r)^n}{(1 + r)^n - 1} \]

Where:

\( M \) — Monthly payment (USD)
\( P \) — Loan principal (USD)
\( MIP \) — Mortgage Insurance Premium (USD)
\( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
\( n \) — Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment needed to fully repay the loan (principal + MIP) plus interest over the loan term.

3. Importance of FHA Mortgage Calculation

Details: FHA loans are popular for first-time homebuyers with lower down payments, but require MIP which affects monthly payments.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount, MIP (typically 1.75% of loan amount), interest rate, and loan term (usually 15 or 30 years).
