Formula
How FHA loan payments are estimated
FHA payment estimates combine the financed loan amount, interest rate, loan term, mortgage insurance, property tax, and homeowner insurance. The calculator separates the base FHA loan, upfront mortgage insurance premium, annual MIP, and total monthly payment.
Base FHA loan = home price − down payment
Upfront MIP = base loan × upfront MIP rate
Total monthly payment = P&I + monthly MIP + taxes + insurance
Eligibility
Why DTI, credit, and LTV matter
FHA qualification can depend on credit profile, down payment, loan-to-value ratio, income, existing debts, property location, and lender review. Use the results as a planning estimate before discussing exact qualification with an FHA-approved lender.
Front-end DTI = FHA monthly housing payment ÷ monthly gross income
Back-end DTI = housing payment + other debts ÷ monthly gross income
