1. alculate the Loan to Value ratio (LTV). LTV = loan amount /total mortgage value, where loan amount = total value of mortgage --down payment on the property.
If the mortgage value is $100,000 and the client makes a 10-percent down payment ($10,000), the loan value is $90,000. LTV ratio is equal to 90000/100000 or 0.9 or 90 percent.
2. Determine the mortgage insurance rate. Rates are different for private mortgage insurance (PMI) and an FHA loan. In order to determine the correct insurance rate, contact the insurance provider. Generally, PMI insurance rates fall within the range of 0.5 to 1 percent. FHA loans require a premium of 1.5 percent of the loan value at closing; monthly premiums fall in the range of 0.5 percent of the loan amount. Contact the insurance provider to determine the correct insurance rate.
3. Calculate the premium with the following formula: Mortgage insurance premium (annual) = LTV amount x mortgage insurance rate. Mortgage Insurance premium (monthly) = mortgage insurance annual premium / 12. For example, if the LTV is $90,000 and the mortgage rate is 1 percent, the annual mortgage insurance premium = $90000 x 0.01 = $900, and the monthly mortgage insurance premium = $900 / 12 = $75
4. Research the benefits, liabilities and costs of owning mortgage insurance. Mortgage insurance may be tax deductible. However, the cost of the insurance can be substantial on large loans. Generally, the insurance can be canceled when 20 percent of the loan has been repaid, but the terms vary according to the provider.
