PMI is insurance on many conventional loans when the down payment is under 20%. It protects the lender. It is not the same as FHA mortgage insurance.
The charge below is an example of 0.50% of the loan per year. A real PMI quote depends on credit, the loan, and the insurer. The home price in the table is $400,000.

6.75% is an example rate so the calculator has a starting point. It is not a live market quote. Enter the rate from a loan estimate.
Down payment
$40,000.00 down. Loan amount $360,000.00.
Example starting rate, not a live quote.
Loan term
Placeholder until you enter the home's tax bill.
Estimate: 0.50% of the loan amount per year. You can replace it.
Estimated monthly payment
Principal, interest, taxes, insurance, PMI, and HOA
$2,968.28
The estimated monthly payment is $2,968.28. Principal and interest are $2,334.95, property tax is $333.33, insurance is $150.00, PMI is $150.00.
Taxes, insurance, HOA, and PMI are held flat in this model. A real PMI bill can end after the balance falls, and taxes or insurance can change. The interest total assumes the rate stays fixed and you pay the scheduled amount.
Same price, down payment, and rate. The lowest total interest is labeled in words. A shorter term usually raises the monthly principal-and-interest payment.

This model stops the example PMI charge once the loan is 80% or less of the price. Requesting removal on an actual loan depends on the servicer, the loan type, and the payment history.
Principal and interest are not always the complete housing payment. Property taxes, homeowners insurance, PMI when the loan is above 80% of the price, and HOA fees can all sit on top of that payment. Replace the placeholders with the bills for the property. The PMI calculator and the closing cost calculator cover two of those extra costs. This site is not a lender, and these figures are not a loan offer.
No. Homeowners insurance covers the property. PMI covers the lender when the down payment is small. A monthly mortgage payment can include both.
Yes. At 20% down the loan is 80% of the price, and the example PMI amount is zero. Fifteen percent down still shows a PMI charge here.

FHA uses mortgage insurance premiums, not this PMI estimate.
