About the PMI Removal Timeline Calculator
Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is an extra monthly cost that protects the lender, not you. Most borrowers want it gone as soon as they hit 20% equity.
This calculator predicts your PMI Termination Date by modeling your loan amortization against estimated home appreciation and the impact of any extra monthly payments.
