VA Funding Fee Calculator (2026 Rates)

Estimate your VA funding fee for purchases, cash-out refinances, and IRRRL streamlines using the VA fee schedule in effect since April 7, 2023. This VA funding fee calculator handles first-use vs. subsequent-use pricing, down payment tiers, and exemptions. Run the number for your VA loan in Texas, then size the home price with our VA affordability calculator.

Scenario Details

Transaction Type
Are you exempt?
You do not pay the funding fee if you are a veteran receiving VA disability compensation for a service-connected condition (or entitled to it, including if you get retirement or active duty pay instead), a Purple Heart recipient on active duty, or a surviving spouse receiving Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC).
Is this your first VA loan?
0% (under 5% down)
Estimated Funding Fee
$8,600
2.15% of base loan
Base Loan$400,000
Total Loan Amount$408,600

Note: The VA funding fee can either be paid upfront at closing or added into your loan amount. VA loan assumptions (0.5%) and manufactured home loans not permanently affixed (1%) use different fees and are not covered here.

$408,600

Who is exempt?

You do not pay the funding fee if you are a veteran receiving VA disability compensation for a service-connected condition (or entitled to it, including if you get retirement or active duty pay instead), a Purple Heart recipient on active duty, or a surviving spouse receiving Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC).

How is it paid?

Most buyers roll the funding fee into their loan so they do not have to bring that cost to closing. The numbers shown above reflect what your total loan amount would look like if the fee is financed. Make sure the higher payment still passes your VA residual income calculator check.

The VA funding fee is a one-time charge paid directly to the Department of Veterans Affairs. It helps keep the VA loan program running by offsetting costs, which lets qualified borrowers buy with no down payment and without monthly mortgage insurance.
You do not pay the funding fee if you are a veteran receiving VA disability compensation for a service-connected condition (or entitled to it, including if you get retirement or active duty pay instead), a Purple Heart recipient on active duty, or a surviving spouse receiving Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC).
In some cases, yes. If you are later granted VA disability compensation with an effective date before your loan closed, you may be eligible to have the funding fee refunded.
Yes. On purchase loans, putting at least 5% down lowers the funding fee to 1.5%, and putting 10% or more down lowers it to 1.25%. These down payment tiers apply to first use and subsequent use alike.
An IRRRL (Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan), often called a VA streamline refinance, is used to refinance an existing VA loan into a lower rate. Its funding fee is 0.5% of the loan amount.
