The calculations provided are estimates based on the information you've provided and current market rates. Actual VA loan terms, rates, and available amounts may vary based on lender criteria, credit score, and other factors. This calculator is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a loan offer or guarantee of credit.

Funding fee percentages follow the VA chart effective April 7, 2023: 2.15% on a first use with less than 5% down, 3.30% after a prior VA loan with less than 5% down, 1.50% at 5% down, and 1.25% at 10% down or more. A qualifying disability exemption sets the fee to zero. Your Certificate of Eligibility confirms the exemption.
