How it's calculated

Frequently asked questions

Do VA loans need a down payment?

No — eligible veterans and service members can often borrow 100% of the price, and there's no private mortgage insurance.

Who is exempt from the funding fee?

Veterans receiving VA disability compensation, Purple Heart recipients on active duty and some surviving spouses, among others.

Can I pay the funding fee in cash?

Yes. You can pay it at closing instead of financing it, which lowers your loan balance.
