FHA Mortgage Insurance Premiums
Effective April 1, 2013 and June 3, 2013 The charts below illustrate the 10 basis points (bps) increase in the Annual Mortgage Insurance Premiums, new duration of annual MIP and new MIP rates for loans under 78% that are amortized for 15 years or less. Upfront premiums will not change with this update.
The annual MIP on all forward mortgages increases, except single family forward streamline refinance transactions that are refinancing existing FHA loans that were endorsed on or before May 31, 2009; the rate for those streamline transactions remains at the current level.
The following are effective for all mortgages with FHA case numbers assigned on or after June 3, 2013:
- Revision to the period for assessing the annual MIP;
- Removal of the exemption from the annual MIP for loans with terms of 15 years or less and LTVs of less than or equal to 78 percent at origination;
- Increase in the annual MIP for mortgages with terms less than or equal to 15 years and LTV ratios less than or equal to 78 percent at origination.
The table below shows the previous and the new duration of annual MIP by amortization term and LTV ratio at origination:
| TERM | LTV (%) | PREVIOUS | NEW |
| ≤ 15 yrs | ≤ 78 | No annual MIP | 11 years |
| ≤ 15 yrs | > 78 – 90.00 | Cancelled at 78% LTV | 11 years |
| ≤ 15 yrs | > 90.00 | Cancelled at 78% LTV | Loan term |
| > 15 yrs | ≤ 78 | 5 years | 11 years |
| > 15 yrs | > 78 – 90.00 | Cancelled at 78% LTV & 5 yrs | 11 years |
| > 15 yrs | > 90.00 | Cancelled at 78% LTV & 5 yrs | Loan term |
Upfront Premiums: Upfront premiums (UFMIP) will stay the same.
