The Mathematical Formula
Annual PMI = Loan Amount × PMI Rate; Monthly PMI = Annual PMI / 12; LTV = Loan Amount / Home Price × 100

PMI is commonly estimated from the loan amount:

Loan Amount = Home Price - Down Payment LTV = Loan Amount / Home Price × 100 Annual PMI = Loan Amount × PMI Rate Monthly PMI = Annual PMI / 12

This makes PMI highly sensitive to both the home price and the size of your down payment.

About PMI Calculator

Private mortgage insurance, or PMI, is an added cost many buyers face when purchasing a home with a smaller down payment. In practice, the most useful planning questions are how much PMI adds each month and how your down payment changes your LTV. This calculator focuses on that planning view by translating home price, down payment, and PMI rate into clear monthly and annual costs.
