How this calculator works
The result depends on the numbers you enter and the assumptions shown below.

VA loans are available to eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and surviving spouses. They require no down payment and no private mortgage insurance (PMI). The VA charges a one-time funding fee (typically 2.3% for first-time use with no down payment) which can be rolled into the loan. VA loans often offer competitive interest rates.

Review the inputs carefully and treat the output as an estimate. For decisions involving money, taxes, health, law, or security, compare the result with trusted professional guidance when needed.

Frequently asked questions

Who qualifies for a VA loan?

VA loans are available to veterans, active-duty service members, National Guard and Reserve members, and eligible surviving spouses. You must obtain a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) from the VA.

Is the VA funding fee required?

Yes, unless you receive VA disability compensation, are a surviving spouse receiving DIC, or have a service-connected disability. The fee varies based on loan type, down payment, and whether it is a first or subsequent use.
