Using FHA loan calculator
Estimate an FHA purchase-loan payment with upfront mortgage insurance and an initial monthly insurance estimate.
Uses HUD's March 20, 2023 forward-mortgage premium schedule. Assumes appraised value equals purchase price. Minimum down payment here is 3.5%; credit score, county loan limits and eligibility are not checked. Special programs and refinancing are excluded. Monthly MIP here is base loan times annual rate divided by 12; it is an initial estimate, not HUD's amortization-based annual billing calculation. Future MIP changes as the balance falls. Rates and property costs are your assumptions; ask the lender for the exact schedule.
A worked example
For purchase price and appraised value (usd) = 200000, down payment (usd) = 7000, annual interest rate (%) = 6, term (years) = 30, upfront premium payment = Finance the premium, annual property tax and insurance (usd) = 3600, monthly hoa or other fixed costs (usd) = 0, estimated initial monthly payment with costs (usd) = 1565.84.
