Mortgage Insurance Premium (FHA Loan)
Why do I have to Pay the Mortgage Insurance Premium?
The MIP is a requirement from the government. There are two parts to the Mortgage Insurance.
- The Monthly Mortgage Insurance
-
This is a monthly charge and is calculated by multiplying the loan amount by .55% and deviding by 12/months Example: 200,000 x .55% = $1,100 / 12 months = $91.00/month

The Mortgage Insurance Premium
-
This is a one time charge that gets financed on top of the loan amount and is calculated by multiplying 2.25% to the loan amount. Example: $200,000 x 2.25% = $4,500 so the total loan amount after the MIP is financed is $204,500.00
