1. What is the VA Loan Payment Formula?

The VA loan payment formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to repay a VA home loan over its term. This formula accounts for the principal amount, interest rate, and loan duration.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

\[ PMT = P \times \frac{r(1 + r)^n}{(1 + r)^n - 1} \]

Where:

\( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount
\( P \) — Principal loan amount
\( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
\( n \) — Number of payments (loan term in months)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed payment that will completely pay off the loan (principal + interest) over the specified term.

3. Importance of VA Loan Calculation

Tips: Enter the loan amount in USD, monthly interest rate as a decimal (e.g., 0.005 for 0.5%), and number of monthly payments. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do I convert annual rate to monthly?
A: Divide the annual percentage rate by 12 (months) and convert to decimal (e.g., 6% annual = 0.06/12 = 0.005 monthly).

Q2: Does this include VA funding fee?
A: No, this calculates principal and interest only. VA funding fee would be an additional cost.

Q3: What's typical VA loan term?

Q4: Are VA loan rates different?
A: VA loans often have competitive rates, but the calculation formula is the same as conventional loans.

Q5: Can I calculate payments with taxes/insurance?
