How it works

Monthly principal & interest is calculated from loan amount, rate, and term.

We amortize month by month until the balance reaches the entered PMI drop LTV threshold of your home value.

We add the month count to the start date (or today) to estimate the drop date.

When to use it

  • Estimate when PMI could be removed based on scheduled amortization.
  • Plan extra payments to hit the drop LTV sooner (extra payments not modeled here).

Tips & cautions

  • Actual PMI removal depends on servicer rules, appraisal, and payment history. This is a schedule estimate only.
  • If you plan extra principal payments, run a more detailed amortization including extras.
  • Assumes fixed-rate loan, no extra payments, and constant home value.
  • Does not handle escrow/insurance; focused on P&I and LTV timing.
