1. What is a VA Loan Monthly Payment Calculator?

Definition: This calculator computes the monthly mortgage payment for VA loans, including the funding fee in the principal amount.

Purpose: It helps veterans and active military personnel estimate their monthly mortgage payments when using VA loan benefits.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard mortgage formula adjusted for VA loans:

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

Where:

\( M \) — Monthly payment (USD)
\( P \) — Loan principal (USD)
\( F \) — VA funding fee (USD)
\( r \) — Monthly interest rate (decimal)
\( n \) — Total number of payments

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that would pay off the loan (principal + fee) with interest over the loan term.

3. Importance of VA Loan Payment Calculation

Details: Accurate payment estimation helps veterans budget effectively and understand the full cost of their VA loan, including the funding fee.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount, funding fee (if any), annual interest rate (as decimal), and loan term in months. Typical VA loans use 30-year (360 month) terms.
