What is PMI in a Mortgage?

Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is a type of insurance that protects the lender if you default on your mortgage. It's typically required for conventional loans when you put down less than 20% of the home's value. PMI is paid monthly and is usually removed once your mortgage balance reaches 78% of the home's original value.

How PMI Works

When you get a conventional mortgage with less than 20% down payment, your lender will require PMI. The cost of PMI is typically 0.5% to 1.5% of the original loan amount, paid monthly with your mortgage payment. The insurance premium is calculated based on:

• The original loan amount
• Your down payment percentage
• The current loan-to-value ratio

How PMI Affects Your Mortgage Payment

PMI adds to your monthly mortgage payment, increasing your total monthly cost. The exact amount depends on:

• Your loan amount
• Your down payment percentage
• The current interest rate
• The PMI rate (typically 0.5% to 1.5%)

For example, if you take out a $300,000 mortgage with 10% down payment and a 6% interest rate, your monthly payment without PMI would be approximately $1,875. With PMI at 0.8%, your monthly payment would increase to about $1,938.

When Does PMI End?

PMI is typically removed when your loan balance reaches 78% of the original loan amount. This is known as the "PMI cancellation point." At this point, your lender will remove PMI from your monthly payment.
