Understanding the VA funding fee
The VA funding fee (about 1.5%–3.3% of the loan) replaces monthly mortgage insurance and helps keep the program running. It can be rolled into your loan, and if you receive VA disability compensation you're exempt entirely — one of the biggest reasons disabled veterans save so much.
Funding fee tiers — and who skips them
The VA funding fee runs 2.15% on a first-use purchase with less than 5% down, drops to 1.5% with 5% down and 1.25% with 10% down, and is 3.3% for subsequent use with minimal down. IRRRLs are just 0.5%. Veterans receiving VA disability compensation, Purple Heart recipients, and eligible surviving spouses pay nothing.
Benefits for spouses and surviving spouses
Spouses can co-borrow, and unremarried surviving spouses of veterans who died in service or from a service-connected disability may be able to use the VA home loan benefit themselves — including the funding-fee exemption.
