A loan above the 2026 Florida conforming limit of $806,500 is a jumbo loan. Jumbos often require 10–20% down, 700+ credit, and cash reserves. Estimate only.
A jumbo loan is any mortgage above the conforming limit, which is $806,500 across Florida for 2026. Because these loans cannot be sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, lenders set their own stricter guidelines.
Jumbo borrowers typically need a higher credit score, a larger down payment, and cash reserves. This tool tells you whether your loan crosses into jumbo territory and estimates the payment.

The Formula & Assumptions
Loan = price × (1 − down %)
Jumbo if loan > $806,500
(2026 FL conforming limit)
Payment = P&I + taxes + insurance
We compare your loan amount to the 2026 conforming limit. Anything above it is a jumbo loan subject to portfolio or non-agency guidelines.
Jumbo underwriting is stricter: expect a 700-plus credit score, larger reserves, and often a bigger down payment than a conforming loan would require.
Rates and terms vary widely between jumbo lenders. Because there is no single agency standard, shopping multiple investors matters more on a jumbo than on a conforming loan.
