What is the VA Funding Fee and Its Purpose?
« on: June 04, 2025, 10:43:39 AM »
The VA Funding Fee is a fee collected on VA loans to offset the government's costs in guaranteeing VA loans. No taxpayer funds are used, as the program is self-funding. Funding fees are calculated as a percentage of the loan amount and vary depending on loan type, entitlement status, and down payment, if applicable. The range of fees is from 0.5% to 3.3%. A few points:
*Service disabled veterans are normally exempt from the funding fee. There is no minimum disability percentage. Purple Heart recipients are also exempt.
*A Down payment of 5.0-9.99% reduces the fee to 1.50%. 10% or larger down payment reduces the fee to 1.25%. These discounted fees apply to both first time and subsequent use.
*First use funding fee is 2.15%
*Subsequent use is 3.3%
*The fee for the Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) is 0.5%. This is a no cash-out rate and/or term reduction loan.
*The funding fee can be rolled into the loan, giving you an LTV of up to 103.3%
*The funding fee can be covered by seller concessions. However, total seller concessions may not exceed 4% of the purchase price. Most often, borrowers will roll the funding fee in to have seller concessions pay for most or all of closing costs.
