How it works

What's included in an FHA loan payment?

A real FHA payment estimate should include more than just the loan amount and interest rate. To understand what you can actually afford, you need to look at the full monthly housing payment.

Principal & Interest

This is the base mortgage payment based on your loan amount, interest rate, and loan term. 

Mortgage lenders refer this as “P&I”.

 

Property Taxes

Your property taxes can vary by county, city, and home value. This can make a big difference in your monthly payment.

Homeowner's insurance

Insurance protects the property and is included in your monthly escrow payment.

Mortgage Insurance (MIP)

FHA loans include mortgage insurance, which helps make the loan more flexible but increases the monthly payment.

FHA Down Payment + Cash to Close Section

When you are buying a home, you have two cash outlays: Your down payment and your closing costs.

For FHA Loans, the minimum required down payment is 3.5% for most borrowers. Closing costs may vary based on your location. 

Down Payment

This is your investment into the property. FHA requires a minimum of 3.5% down payment while the bank finances the remainder 96.5%

Closing Costs

These are the actual fees of buying a piece of real estate. Your closing costs will vary depending on your municipality, state, taxes, homeowners insurance and other factors. 

The good news!

FHA loans allows up to 6% of the purchase price for seller concessions. This can help you reduce how much money you need out of pocket.

Mini Example

On a $350,000 home, a 3.5% down payment is $12,250. But your total cash to close could be higher once closing costs and prepaid items are included.

Can you qualify for an FHA loan?

FHA loans are designed to be flexible, but you still need to meet basic mortgage requirements. Your credit score, income, debt-to-income ratio, employment history, property type, and loan amount all matter.

Credit score

Most FHA buyers qualify with a 520+ credit score. However, 580 minimum is preferred.

Down payment

The minimum FHA down payment is 3.5% for borrowers with at least a 580 credit score.

Primary Residence Only

FHA only finances owner-occupied properties.

Debt to income ratio

The maximum debt-to-income ratio allowed by FHA is 47% for housing and 57% back-end.

Steady income

Whether you are an employee or self-employed, you need to show 2 years of income history.

Different FHA loans Explained

Most people think an FHA loan is just one mortgage program, but FHA can be used for buying, refinancing, renovating, and even refinancing without a full traditional loan process.

Here are the most popular FHA loan options borrowers should know about.

FHA 203(b)

The FHA 203(b) loan is the most common FHA loan that most people get when they buy or refinance a home. 

Best For: Buying with a low down payment or simple refinance.

FHA 203(k) Standard Renovation Loan

This loan allows buyers and homeowners to finance both the home and eligible renovation costs into one mortgage. 

Best For: Property needs repairs, updates, or improvements before it truly works for you.

FHA Limited 203(k)

Best For: Smaller, non-structural repairs.

 

FHA Rate-and-Term Refinance
