VA FUNDING FEE REQUIREMENT

The law requires that Veterans Administration be paid a funding fee with guaranteed loans. The only exceptions are loans made to veterans receiving Veterans Administration compensation for service-connected disabilities, or who, but for receipt of retirement pay, would be entitled to receive compensation, and loans made to surviving spouses of veterans who died in service or from service-connected disabilities.

Basic Funding Fees - First-time Use. The funding fees for veterans who have not previously obtained a VA loan and whose loan eligibility is not derived from 6 years of service in the Selected Reserve are:

(1) 2.0 percent of the loan amount for loans with down payments of less than 5 percent.

(2) 1.5 percent of the loan amount for loans with at least a 5 percent down payment.

(3) 1.25 percent of the loan amount for loans with at least a 10 percent down payment.

Funding Fee for Reservists - First-time Use. These veterans will pay the following funding fees:

(1) 2.75 percent of the loan amount for loans with down payments of less than 5 percent.

(2) 2.25 percent of the loan amount for loans with at least a 5 percent down payment.

(3) 2.0 percent of the loan amount for loans with at least a 10 percent down payment.

Funding Fees for Subsequent Use. Except for interest rate reduction refinancing loans, veterans (including those whose eligibility is derived from service in the Reserves/National Guard) using the loan program for the second and subsequent times will pay increased funding fees.

The fees for subsequent use are:>

(1) 3.0 percent of the loan amount for loans with down payments of less than 5 percent.

(2) 1.5 percent of the loan amount (2.25 percent for Reserves/National Guard) for loans with at least a 5 percent down payment.

(3) 1.25 percent of the loan amount (2.0 percent for Reserves/National Guard) for loans with at least a 10 percent down payment.

The down payment is computed on the property sales price. When a sales price is above the reasonable value of the property, as determined by VA, the portion of the down payment attributable to reducing the loan amount to reasonable value may be used to calculate the fee. In cases involving partial entitlement, the down payment required to permit sale of the loan in the secondary market also counts toward the 5- or 10-percent down payment for funding fee calculation
