Answer key: VA Loan worksheet

  1. 1. Total monthly payment: $3,034.36

    1. Find the one-time VA funding fee. For a cash-out refinance, first use, the VA's table sets it at 2.15% of the loan

      $340,000.00×2.15%=$7,310.00
    2. You chose to add the fee to the loan, so it becomes part of what you borrow

      $340,000.00+$7,310.00=$347,310.00
    3. Find the monthly loan payment (principal and interest). A standard formula gives the one amount that pays off the loan, with interest, in 240 months. It uses the yearly rate ÷ 12, because interest is charged monthly

      $347,310.00×0.005833331−(1+0.00583333)−240=$2,692.69
    4. Add monthly property tax, insurance and any HOA dues to get what you pay each month. VA loans have no monthly mortgage insurance to add

      $2,692.69+$250.00+$91.67+$0.00=$3,034.36
  2. 2. Total monthly payment: $1,762.69

    1. Find the one-time VA funding fee. For an IRRRL, first use, the VA's table sets it at 0.5% of the loan

    2. You chose to add the fee to the loan, so it becomes part of what you borrow

      $180,000.00+$900.00=$180,900.00
    3. Find the monthly loan payment (principal and interest). A standard formula gives the one amount that pays off the loan, with interest, in 240 months. It uses the yearly rate ÷ 12, because interest is charged monthly

      $180,900.00×0.0051−(1+0.005)−240=$1,296.02
    4. Add monthly property tax, insurance and any HOA dues to get what you pay each month. VA loans have no monthly mortgage insurance to add

      $261,250.00+$3,918.75=$265,168.75
    4. Find the monthly loan payment (principal and interest). A standard formula gives the one amount that pays off the loan, with interest, in 360 months. It uses the yearly rate ÷ 12, because interest is charged monthly

    5. Add monthly property tax, insurance and any HOA dues to get what you pay each month. VA loans have no monthly mortgage insurance to add

      $1,265.96+$354.17+$150.00+$0.00=$1,770.12
