How It Works

Eligible veterans and active service members can estimate a monthly mortgage payment here without putting any money down, with the VA funding fee already worked into the figure. The projection draws on current 2026 rate estimates so you get a grounded sense of what owning a home would cost month to month.

For the underlying math, the tool assumes the estimated 2026 average VA loan interest rate of 6.25% on a 30-year fixed term. The VA funding fee runs 2.15% for a first-time borrower making no down payment, and that amount is folded into the loan balance before the payment is amortized. National averages stand in for property taxes and homeowner's insurance.

One advantage of a VA loan is that it carries no PMI, but the funding fee is a one-time charge you'll either pay upfront or finance into the loan. Getting pre-approved pins down your real borrowing power, and because rates move from week to week, it pays to compare offers from several lenders before you commit.

Example: $350,000 Home Purchase

  1. 1 Input a home purchase price of $350,000. Assume this is your first VA loan and you're not exempt from the funding fee.
  2. 2 The calculator adds a 2.15% funding fee ($7,525) to the loan, making the total loan amount $357,525. Using a 6.25% interest rate over 30 years, it then calculates the principal and interest payment. Estimated property taxes (1% annually) and homeowner's insurance ($1,200 annually) are added.
  3. 3 Your estimated monthly payment for principal and interest would be $2,197.80. Adding estimated property taxes of $291.67 and homeowner's insurance of $100, your total estimated monthly payment is $2,589.47.
  4. 4 This example demonstrates how the VA funding fee impacts your total loan amount and subsequent monthly payments. While no down payment is required, understanding the funding fee helps in budgeting for your home purchase in 2026.
