How Realwing’s VA Loan Calculator Works
Realwing’s VA loan calculator is designed to make estimating your monthly mortgage payment quick and painless. With autofill elements, it helps you crunch the numbers on your future home in seconds. Like any mortgage, your VA loan payment includes the principal (the amount borrowed) and interest (what the lender charges for the loan). These are displayed as P&I in the calculator breakdown. You can also toggle options to include taxes and insurance for a complete picture of your monthly costs. Here’s what goes into the calculation:
Home Price
This is the amount you paid (or plan to pay) for your home. The lower the price, the lower your monthly mortgage. Enter the purchase price into Realwing’s VA loan calculator to get started.
ZIP Code
Your location impacts your loan eligibility. Enter your ZIP code, and our calculator will factor in county-specific VA loan limits to determine if a down payment is required. As of 2020, the VA no longer limits how much you can borrow, but lenders use local limits to manage risk.
Property Tax
Your estimated annual property tax is divided by 12 and added to your monthly mortgage payment. If you know the exact tax amount, you can enter it as a total or percentage.
Home Insurance
Homeowners insurance is required by VA lenders and protects against hazards, loss, and liability. The total annual premium is split into monthly payments and added to your mortgage estimate.
Down Payment
VA loans typically don’t require a down payment, but adding one can lower your total loan amount and reduce your VA funding fee. Adjust the default $0 setting in our calculator to see how different down payments affect your costs.
Loan Program
Choose between 30-year fixed, 15-year fixed, or a 5-year adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM). A 30-year fixed loan has lower monthly payments but higher long-term interest, while a 15-year loan costs more per month but saves on interest overall.
Interest Rate
Your mortgage interest is expressed as a percentage and determines how much you’ll pay in addition to the principal. Realwing’s VA loan calculator autofills with the current national average VA mortgage rate, but your rate depends on factors like credit score and lender selection. Always compare rates from multiple VA lenders.
HOA Dues
If your home is in a community with a homeowners association (HOA), you’ll have monthly dues. Enter your HOA fees in our calculator for a more accurate payment estimate.
What is a VA Loan?
A VA loan is a mortgage backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, designed to help eligible military members and veterans buy, build, refinance, or repair a primary residence.
Who Qualifies?
To be eligible for a VA-backed loan, you must meet one of the following criteria:
-
Veterans
-
Active-duty service members
-
Reserve or National Guard members
-
Surviving spouses
Lenders may also require additional qualifications, such as a valid Certificate of Eligibility (COE), sufficient income, and a suitable credit score.
Types of VA Loans
VA loans come in four main types:
-
VA Purchase Loan – Buy a home with no down payment and competitive terms.
-
VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) – Also known as a VA streamline refinance, this helps lower your interest rate.
-
VA Cash-Out Refinance Loan – Tap into your home’s equity by refinancing a non-VA loan into a VA loan.
-
Native American Direct Loan (NADL) – A VA-funded mortgage for eligible Native American Veterans or those married to a Native American.
VA Loan Benefits
VA loans come with perks that make homeownership more accessible:
-
Zero down payment – No down payment is required unless your loan exceeds county limits.
-
No mortgage insurance – Unlike conventional loans, VA loans don’t require monthly mortgage insurance.
-
Lower interest rates – VA loans often have lower rates compared to other loan options.
-
Limited closing costs – The VA caps what lenders can charge in closing costs, and sellers can cover some costs.
-
No prepayment penalties – Pay off your loan early without extra fees.
-
Payment assistance – If you hit financial hardship, the VA can help negotiate with your lender or find alternative solutions.
VA Loan Limits
As of 2020, if you have full VA entitlement, there’s no loan limit—you can borrow as much as a lender is willing to approve. If you have remaining entitlement, your loan limit depends on your county’s loan cap.
Full entitlement applies if:
-
You’ve never used a VA home loan.
-
You’ve paid off a previous VA loan and sold the property.
-
You repaid the VA after a foreclosure or short sale.
If you have remaining entitlement (e.g., an active VA loan or unpaid previous VA loan), the VA guarantees up to 25% of the county loan limit minus the entitlement already used.
