Why It Matters

PMI is an expense that provides zero benefit to the borrower — it only protects the lender. On a $320,000 loan with a 0.5% PMI rate, you pay $1,600/year ($133/month) with no equity return. Plan to either put 20% down to avoid PMI or have a strategy to reach 20% equity quickly through appreciation or principal paydown.

Detailed Explanation

PMI Rate is the annual cost of Private Mortgage Insurance expressed as a percentage of the loan amount. PMI is required when the down payment is less than 20% of the purchase price. Typical rates range from 0.3% to 1.5% depending on credit score, loan-to-value ratio, and loan type. The monthly PMI cost equals (PMI Rate × Loan Amount) ÷ 12. PMI can usually be removed once equity reaches 20%.
