When can I remove PMI?

By federal law (Homeowners Protection Act), PMI is automatically canceled when your LTV reaches 78%. You can request removal at 80% LTV. Send a written request to your servicer with proof of current home value.

How much does PMI cost per month?

PMI typically costs 0.5–1.5% of the loan amount per year. On a $250,000 loan, that's $1,250–$3,750/year or $104–$313/month.
