Understanding Your FHA Loan Results

Your monthly payment consists of several components. Here's how to interpret your results:

Monthly Principal & Interest (P&I)

This is your base loan payment, calculated using this formula: P&I = L[c(1 + c)^n]/[(1 + c)^n - 1] Where: L = Loan amount, c = Monthly interest rate, n = Total number of payments.

FHA Mortgage Insurance Premiums (MIP)

Upfront MIP is 1.75% of your base loan amount. Annual MIP is 0.80% to 0.85% of loan amount (paid monthly). For example: On a $200,000 loan, your upfront MIP would be $3,500, and your monthly MIP would be about $140.

Next Steps

After using the calculator, consider these important steps:

Contact an FHA-approved lender to discuss your options.

Gather your financial documents (pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements).

Check your credit score - FHA loans typically require a score of 580 or higher.

Consider saving for a larger down payment to reduce your MIP costs.
