How much is the VA funding fee?
It varies by first vs subsequent use, down payment, and loan type (purchase, IRRRL, cash-out). Funding-fee percentages change with legislation and VA updates. Confirm the exact number against the official VA funding-fee table before making cash-flow decisions.
Plain-English explanation
The VA publishes the live funding-fee table on its loan-page resources. The fee can move with legislation — confirm against the current table rather than relying on older percentages. Disabled-veteran and surviving-spouse exemptions zero out the fee entirely. Subject to VA guidelines.
What can change the answer?
First/subsequent use, down payment percentage, loan type (purchase, IRRRL, cash-out), and exemption status (disability, surviving spouse) drive the fee.
