PMI in Florida
PMI itself does not vary by state, but Florida home prices and your down payment do, which together set the premium. Putting at least 20% down on a Florida purchase avoids PMI entirely — worth weighing against keeping cash on hand for the state's higher insurance and closing costs.
The calculator applies an estimated PMI rate to your loan amount to find the annual premium, divides by twelve for the monthly cost, and projects the point at which your balance reaches 78% to 80% of the original value, when PMI typically ends.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does PMI go away?
On a conventional loan, PMI automatically ends when your balance reaches 78% of the original value, and you can request cancellation at 80%. A new appraisal showing higher value can speed this up.
How can I avoid PMI?
Put at least 20% down on a conventional loan, use a VA or USDA loan if eligible, or consider a piggyback second mortgage. Each approach has trade-offs the calculator can help you weigh.
