What Is a VA Mortgage Calculator?
A VA Mortgage Calculator estimates your monthly mortgage payment for a loan guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. It includes the VA funding fee (which can be rolled into the loan), property taxes, and homeowners insurance. This tool helps eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and surviving spouses understand their total housing costs and compare VA loans with other financing options.
How to Use This VA Mortgage Calculator
- Enter the Home Price — the total purchase price of the property.
- Enter the Down Payment Percentage — VA loans allow 0% down, but you can enter a higher amount.
- Enter the Interest Rate and Loan Term (usually 15 or 30 years).
- Enter Annual Property Taxes and Home Insurance — these are often escrowed with the mortgage.
- Select the VA Funding Fee Type — based on whether it's your first or subsequent use and your down payment amount.
- Click Calculate to see your total monthly payment, funding fee amount, and full amortization schedule.
Adjust any input to see how changes affect your payment — for example, a higher down payment reduces the funding fee percentage and lowers the total loan amount.
How the Calculation Works
- Base Loan Amount = Home Price × (1 − Down Payment %).
- Funding Fee is calculated as a percentage of the base loan amount based on the selected option. This fee is added to the loan.
- Total Loan Amount = Base Loan Amount + Funding Fee.
- Principal & Interest are computed on the total loan amount using the standard mortgage payment formula.
- Monthly Funding Fee = (Total Loan Amount − Base Loan Amount) / Number of Months, spread over the loan term.
- Property Taxes = Annual Taxes / 12.
- Home Insurance = Annual Insurance / 12.
- Total Monthly Payment = P&I + (Funding Fee / Terms) + Taxes + Insurance.
- The amortization schedule shows how much of each payment goes to interest, principal, and the funding fee over the life of the loan.
