Second Mortgage Loan Calculator with PMI
Second Mortgage Loan Calculator
This second mortgage loan calculator helps you estimate your monthly payments, including Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), and the total payment over the life of the loan.
Understanding PMI
PMI is typically required if your down payment is less than 20% of the home’s value. It protects the lender in case of default.
Example Calculation
If you borrow $200,000 with a 5% interest rate over 30 years and a 0.5% PMI rate, your monthly payment will include both the mortgage and PMI, totaling $1,076.32.
Why It Matters
Understanding how PMI affects your loan payments is crucial for budgeting your monthly expenses and making informed decisions about loan terms.
FAQs
Can PMI be removed? Yes, once you reach 20% equity in your home, PMI can be removed or reduced.
What is the best loan term? A 15-year term typically offers lower interest rates but higher monthly payments compared to a 30-year term.
