HUD drops annual MIP after 11 years when the original down payment is 10% or more. Choose 78% LTV to stop once the remaining balance is 78% of the purchase price.

When checked, property tax, insurance, HOA, and other annual costs are added to the monthly and lifetime totals.

Estimate an FHA mortgage payment with financed upfront MIP, annual MIP, a down payment as low as 3.5%, and optional property tax, insurance, HOA, and other costs. Extra monthly, yearly, or one-time principal payments show how much sooner you can pay the loan off — and how much MIP and interest you avoid.

Formula

The down payment is a percent of the home price (or a dollar amount). The base loan is the price minus that down payment. calculator.net finances upfront MIP as a percent of the home price, then amortizes the combined loan:

upfront MIP = home price × upfront MIP%
loan = (home price − down payment) + upfront MIP
P&I = P · r(1 + r)^n / ((1 + r)^n − 1)

where P is the loan with upfront MIP, r is the monthly rate (APR ÷ 12), and n is the term in months. Annual MIP is billed monthly as

monthly MIP = base loan × annual MIP% / 12

that level amount does not fall as the balance declines. Recurring costs (tax, insurance, HOA, other) are annual amounts ÷ 12. Optional yearly increases compound after every 12 payments; the monthly lines still show year 1.

HUD’s published upfront MIP is 1.75% of the base loan, not the purchase price. This calculator matches calculator.net’s goldens (percent of price) so the payment, MIP totals, and schedule line up with that site.

Examples

$500,000 home · 3.5% down · 30 years

A $500,000 home with 3.5% down ($17,500) leaves a $482,500 base loan. Upfront MIP at 1.75% of the price is $8,750, so the financed loan is $491,250. At 6.782% over 30 years, principal and interest is about $3,196.69/month. Annual MIP at 0.55% of the base loan adds $221.15/month. With 1.2% property tax, $2,500 insurance, and $5,000 other costs, total out-of-pocket is about $4,542.84/month.

10% down still finances the same upfront MIP

Putting $50,000 (10%) down on the same home cuts the financed loan to $458,750 (the $8,750 upfront MIP is unchanged on this calculator) and P&I to about $2,985/month. HUD typically lets you cancel annual MIP after 11 years at 10% down — switch Annual MIP duration to 11 years to model that.

Extra $200 a month

An extra $200 of principal each month from closing pays this default loan off in 302 months (November 2051 instead of September 2056) and cuts total interest by more than $125,000, with fewer years of MIP as well.

Frequently asked questions

What is an FHA loan?
An FHA loan is a mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration. The FHA does not lend the money — it insures the lender so borrowers can qualify with a down payment as low as 3.5% and a lower credit score than many conventional loans. In return, borrowers pay an upfront mortgage insurance premium (MIP) plus an annual MIP.
How is FHA MIP calculated?
This calculator follows calculator.net: upfront MIP is 1.75% of the home price and is rolled into the loan. Annual MIP is a percent of the base loan (price minus down payment), billed monthly as a level amount that does not decline with the balance. HUD’s own rules apply upfront MIP to the base loan amount; the difference is called out below.
How long do I pay annual MIP?
If you put less than 10% down, annual MIP usually lasts for the life of the loan. With 10% or more down, HUD lets you cancel it after 11 years. You can also model stopping at 78% loan-to-value (when the remaining balance falls to 78% of the purchase price), after 5 years, or with no annual MIP.
What is the minimum FHA down payment?
Most FHA purchase loans allow 3.5% down with a credit score of 580 or higher. Less than 580 typically needs 10% down. A larger down payment shrinks the loan, can lower the annual MIP rate, and — at 10% or more — shortens how long annual MIP lasts.
Can extra payments pay off an FHA loan sooner?
Yes. FHA loans have no prepayment penalty. Extra monthly, yearly, or one-time principal payments cut total interest and the number of years you pay MIP. Use the extra-payment dates to start extras after closing.
What annual MIP rate should I use?
For loans longer than 15 years at or under $726,200, HUD’s 2026 table is 0.55% with under 5% down and 0.50% at 5% or more. Jumbo amounts and 15-year terms use different rates (see the tables below). This calculator does not overwrite the rate you enter; it notes when it differs from the table.
