Illinois and Wisconsin 2010 FHA Mortgage Insurance Premiums

Effective April 5, 2010 Effective for FHA loans for which the case number is assigned on or after April 5, 2010, FHA will collect an upfront mortgage insurance premium of 2.25 percent. This policy change will increase premiums for purchase money and refinance transactions, including FHA to FHA credit-qualifying and non-credit qualifying streamlined refinance transactions.

Upfront Premiums:
FHA will charge an upfront premium in an amount equal to the following percentages of the mortgage:

  • Purchase Money Mortgages and Full-Credit Qualifying Refinances = 2.25 percent
  • Streamline Refinances (all types) = 2.25 percent
  • HOPE for Homeowners (Delinquent Mortgagors) = 2.00 percent
  • Home Equity Conversion Mortgages = 2.00 percent

Annual Premiums:
Annual premiums will not change at this time.

For FHA traditional purchase and refinance products, the annual premium, shown in basis points below, is to be remitted on a monthly basis, and will be charged based on the initial loan-to-value ratio and length of the mortgage according to the following schedule:

LTV Ratio Annual Premium for 15 Years and up to 30 Years LTV Ratio Annual Premium for Loans Under 15 Years
95.00% and Under 0.50% 90.00% and Under NONE
95.01% and Over 0.50% 90.01% and Over 0.25%

How long will I have monthly FHA mortgage insurance? Years will be determined when the loan balance equals 78% of the initial sale price or appraised value, which ever is lower, provided the mortgagor has paid the annual mortgage insurance premium for at least 5 years (refer to HUD 92900)
