At a glance:An FHA loan is a U.S. government-insured mortgage allowing down payments as low as 3.5%, but requires mandatory mortgage insurance (MIP): an upfront premium (UFMIP) at closing and a monthly annual MIP for the life of the loan in many cases. This calculator estimates the monthly PITI and total costs.
Formula
r = annual ÷ 100 ÷ 12; n = years × 12.
Down = price × down%; base loan = price − down.
Upfront MIP = base loan × UFMIP%; financed = base loan + upfront MIP.
Monthly P&I = financed × r × (1+r)^n ÷ ((1+r)^n − 1).
Monthly MIP = base loan × annual MIP% ÷ 12; PITI = P&I + MIP + tax/12 + insurance/12.
How to Use
- Enter home price, down payment % (FHA min 3.5%), annual rate and term.
- Set the UFMIP and annual MIP rates (defaults are typical, adjust to your Loan Estimate).
- Add yearly property tax and insurance to see the full monthly PITI and total interest & insurance.
FAQ
How is FHA different from a conventional loan?
FHA is government-insured, allowing a lower down payment (3.5%) and looser credit, but charges mandatory MIP — an upfront premium (UFMIP) rolled into the loan and a monthly annual MIP that often lasts the whole term, whereas conventional loans drop PMI once you reach 20% equity.
Can I pay UFMIP in cash instead of financing it?
Yes. The ~1.75% UFMIP can be paid at closing in cash so it is not added to the loan; most borrowers finance it to reduce upfront cash, which is the default here, so the financed amount is slightly higher than the base loan.
Does this apply in Hong Kong?
No. FHA is a U.S. product; amounts here are USD for educational illustration. Hong Kong mortgages (stress test, mortgage insurance, P/H plans) are entirely different — use the Hong Kong mortgage calculators on this site.
