FHA Mortgage Insurance

FHA insured mortgages require mortgage insurance. Mortgage insurance is a policy that protects lenders against some or most of the losses that result from defaults on home mortgages and it's required primarily for borrowers making a down payment of less than 20%.

The mortgage insurance charged is .5% per year of the loan amount and is charged to the homeowner each month. In addition, FHA charges an upfront mortgage insurance premium of 1.5%.

FHA's monthly mortgage insurance payments will be automatically terminated when these conditions occur:
  • For mortgages with terms more than 15 years, the annual mortgage insurance premiums will be canceled when the Loan to Value ratio reaches 78%, provided the mortgagor has paid the annual premium for at least 5 years.
  • For mortgages with terms 15 years and less and with loan to value ratios 90% and greater, then annual premiums will be canceled when the Loan to Value ratio reaches 78%, regardless of the amount of time the mortgagor has paid the premiums.
  • Mortgages with terms 15 years and less and with loan to value ratios of 89.99% and less will not be charged annual mortgage insurance premiums.
