PMI (private mortgage insurance) is required on conventional loans when you put less than 20% down. It protects the lender if you default. You can often remove PMI once you reach 20% equity.

How much does PMI cost?

PMI typically costs 0.5–1.5% of the loan amount per year, paid monthly. This calculator estimates your PMI based on loan amount and LTV.

When can I remove PMI?

You can usually request PMI removal when your loan-to-value reaches 80% (from payments or appreciation). Some loans cancel PMI automatically at 78% LTV. Check your loan documents.

What is PMI?

PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) is required by many lenders when your down payment is less than 20% of the home’s value. It protects the lender if you default. PMI typically costs 0.5%–1.5% of the loan amount per year, added to your monthly payment. Once your equity reaches 20% (by payment schedule or appreciation), you can often request removal of PMI.

How to avoid or remove PMI

Put down 20% or more to avoid PMI altogether.
Pay down principal until loan-to-value (LTV) reaches 80%; then request cancellation.
Get a piggyback loan (e.g. 80/10/10) to avoid PMI; compare total cost.
Some loans (e.g. VA, USDA) do not require PMI; check eligibility.
