Calculate your FHA mortgage payment including upfront MIP, annual MIP, property taxes, and insurance. See total loan costs and compare FHA vs conventional financing.
FHA loans require as little as 3.5% down, making homeownership accessible for first-time buyers. However, the trade-off is upfront mortgage insurance (UFMIP) and annual MIP that lasts the life of the loan if you put down less than 10%. This calculator shows the complete cost picture so you can compare FHA versus conventional financing.

The FHA Mortgage Calculator estimates the full monthly cost of an FHA loan, including the unique upfront mortgage insurance premium (UFMIP) that FHA loans require. Unlike conventional mortgages where private mortgage insurance (PMI) can be canceled once you reach 20% equity, FHA MIP typically remains for the life of the loan unless you put at least 10% down — in which case MIP is removed after 11 years. FHA loans are backed by the Federal Housing Administration and allow down payments as low as 3.5% for borrowers with credit scores of 580 or higher, or 10% down for scores between 500-579. The upfront MIP is currently 1.75% of the loan amount and is usually rolled into the loan balance. Annual MIP rates vary based on loan amount, term, and loan-to-value ratio. This calculator helps you understand the true cost of an FHA loan compared to conventional financing by showing not just your monthly payment, but the cumulative MIP you will pay over 15 or 30 years, and how much more a conventional loan with 20% down might cost in total.
Result: A $350,000 home with 3.5% down ($12,250) using an FHA loan at 6.5% for 30 years has a loan amount of $337,750 plus upfront MIP of $5,911 (1.75%). Monthly P&I is ~$2,134, monthly MIP is ~$239 (annual 0.85% rate), plus $350/mo property tax and $117/mo insurance, totaling ~$2,840/month. Total MIP over 30 years: ~$86,000.
