How this was calculated

Select the VA funding-fee rate from use and 0.00% down.

Add a financed fee to principal, then amortize the loan at the entered fixed rate.

Add entered property tax, home insurance and HOA to the monthly payment. VA loans do not use monthly mortgage insurance.

How the funding fee is modeled

The rate depends on whether this is first or subsequent use and whether the down payment is below 5%, at least 5%, or at least 10%. An eligible exemption makes the modeled fee zero.

Worked example

On a $400,000 first-use purchase with no down payment and no exemption, the 2.15% funding fee is $8,600. Financing it raises the modeled principal to $408,600.
