1. What is the VA Home Loan Calculator?

The VA Home Loan Calculator estimates monthly mortgage payments for VA loans, including the option to waive the funding fee for veterans with disability approval. This provides accurate payment estimates tailored to veterans' specific circumstances.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula with VA-specific adjustments:

\[ PMT = P \times \frac{r \times (1 + r)^n}{(1 + r)^n - 1} + (P \times f \text{ if not disabled}) \]

Where:

\( P \) — Principal loan amount (USD)
\( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
\( n \) — Number of monthly payments (term in years × 12)
\( f \) — Funding fee percentage (0 if disabled)
\( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount (USD)

Explanation: The standard loan payment formula calculates the base payment, and the funding fee (if applicable) is amortized over the loan term.

3. Importance of Disability Approval

Details: Veterans with disability approval (10% or higher) are exempt from the VA funding fee, which can save thousands of dollars. This calculator automatically adjusts for this benefit.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount, interest rate, and term. Select disability status. The funding fee field will be disabled if "Disabled Veteran" is selected. All values must be valid (principal > 0, rate > 0, term ≥ 1 year).
