What is PMI and how much does it cost?
Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is required on conventional loans when your down payment is less than 20%. PMI rates range from 0.20% to 1.50% annually depending on your FICO score and loan-to-value ratio — on a $400,000 loan, that's $67 to $500 per month.
Best for: Conventional borrowers with less than 20% down who want to see exact PMI costs by credit score
How It Works
Understanding the Conventional & PMI Calculator
This calculator prices PMI using representative Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac BPMI rate grids across 8 FICO-score tiers and 4 LTV bands. It shows your exact monthly PMI cost, projects the month PMI cancels at 80% LTV under the Homeowners Protection Act, and quantifies how improving your credit score before closing could save you hundreds per month.
Worked example: You're purchasing a $475,000 home with 10% down ($47,500). Your loan is $427,500. With a 720 FICO, PMI is approximately 0.54% annually — $192/month added to your P&I. At 760+ FICO, PMI drops to roughly 0.30% — $107/month. That 40-point score improvement saves $85/month ($1,020/year) until PMI cancels in month 109 (about 9 years).
Pair this with the DTI Calculator to see how PMI affects your qualifying ratios, and with the FHA MIP Calculator to compare conventional PMI against FHA mortgage insurance for borrowers near the decision boundary.

About This Calculator
What the Conventional & PMI Calculator is For
Conventional loans price Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) by FICO score — a 760+ borrower pays dramatically less than a 680 borrower at the same LTV. This calculator uses representative Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac BPMI grids across 8 FICO tiers and 4 LTV bands to show your exact monthly PMI, project the month it cancels at 80% LTV, and quantify the savings from moving up one credit tier. Add property taxes and homeowners insurance to see your full PITI. The expandable PMI rate matrix puts every rate combination on one screen.
Common Use Cases
- Seeing how your FICO score affects PMI cost at any down payment
- Finding the month your PMI cancels under the Homeowners Protection Act
- Quantifying the savings from a credit score improvement before closing
