Illustration only—not a Loan Estimate, approval, or pricing commitment. FHA upfront MIP, annual MIP, conventional PMI, rates, credits, costs, eligibility, and cancellation rules can vary. The five-year view holds entered mortgage-insurance amounts constant and excludes taxes, homeowners insurance, escrow, prepaid items, property appreciation, principal reduction, and any future MI termination. Confirm figures on official Loan Estimates and applicable program guidance.
