VA Loan Funding Fee Schedule & Formulas

The VA funding fee is a one-time administrative payment mandated by federal law (38 U.S.C. 3729) that reduces the taxpayer cost of the VA home loan program.

1. 2026 Statutory VA Funding Fee Schedule

Down Payment < 5%: First Use = 2.15% | Subsequent Use = 3.30%
Down Payment 5% to 9.99%: 1.50% (First or Subsequent Use)
Down Payment ≥ 10%: 1.25% (First or Subsequent Use)
Service-Connected Disability Exemption: 0.00%
