1. What is a VA Mortgage Loan Calculator?

Definition: This calculator estimates the monthly payment for a VA mortgage loan including the funding fee.

Purpose: It helps veterans and active service members plan their home financing using VA loan benefits.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

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

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to fully amortize the loan over its term.

3. Importance of VA Loan Calculation

Details: VA loans offer benefits like no down payment and no private mortgage insurance, but understanding the monthly payment is crucial for budgeting.
