What Is the VA Funding Fee?
The VA funding fee is a one-time payment that helps reduce the cost of the loan to taxpayers. The fee varies based on your down payment amount, military service type, and whether it's your first VA loan.
| Down Payment | First Time Use | Second and Subsequent Use |
|---|---|---|
| <5% | 2.15% | 3.3% |
| 5-10% | 1.5% | 1.5% |
| ≥10% | 1.25% | 1.25% |
How to Calculate VA Funding Fee?
To calculate the VA funding fee, multiply the purchase price or loan amount by the applicable VA funding fee percentage, which varies based on your service type, down payment amount, and whether it’s your first use of the VA loan benefit.
For example, if you’re a first-time user with no down payment on a $300,000 loan and the fee is 2.15%: $300,000 x 2.15% = $6,450.
For other example, if you’re a first-time user with 5% down payment on a $300,000 loan and the fee is 1.5%: ($300,000 - $300,000 x 5%) x 1.5% = $4,275.
