USDA Loan Calculator: Understanding How A USDA Mortgage Payment Is Calculated
When purchasing a home, staying within budget is essential. A properly calculated USDA mortgage payment helps ensure you understand your financial commitment. Here’s what should be included:
1. Property Taxes and Homeowners Insurance
Property taxes and homeowners insurance are used to determine qualifying ratios and monthly housing expenses, but they can often be overlooked in calculations. If you are unsure about property tax estimates, it’s best to check with your local property tax collector. They can be a great resource to help with these questions.
2. Principal and Interest
- Principal: The portion of your payment that reduces your loan balance.
- Interest: The cost of borrowing the loan.
Remember, interest rates change daily and multiple factors contribute to your interest rate calculation. Please give us a call if you have any specific rate and payment scenario questions.
3. USDA Guarantee Fee and USDA Monthly Premium
USDA home loans require 2 separate fees:
- USDA Guarantee Fee: A one-time charge that is financed into the total loan amount. The USDA Guarantee Fee is presently 1% of your loan amount.
- USDA Annual Premium: The USDA Annual Premium is calculated annually and then divided by 12 so that it is included each month within your payment. The initial premium is calculated by taking .35% X the loan amount / 12 months.
