What Is a VA IRRRL?

The VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL), also known as the VA Streamline Refinance, is a specialized refinancing program designed to make it easier for veterans to refinance their existing VA Loans.

Refinancing a VA Loan with an IRRRL

The IRRRL lives up to its ‘Streamline’ name by offering:

  • Reduced Documentation: Less paperwork compared to traditional refinances
  • No Appraisal Requirement: In many cases, an appraisal is not needed
  • Faster Closing Times: Experience a quicker and more efficient refinancing process

VA IRRRL Requirements

To qualify for a VA IRRRL, you generally need to meet a few key criteria. First and foremost, you must currently have a VA Loan that is in good standing, meaning you’ve been consistently making your payments on time. You must also intend to continue living in the property as your primary residence. Finally, the refinance must provide you with a clear financial advantage, often referred to as a “net tangible benefit.” This benefit could come in the form of a lower interest rate, reduced monthly payments, or a switch from an adjustable-rate mortgage to a more stable fixed-rate mortgage.

About the VA IRRRL Calculator

Our VA IRRRL Calculator provides an instant estimate of your potential savings by refinancing your existing VA Loan. Input your current loan details and explore different interest rates and loan terms to see how they impact your monthly payment.

How Does the VA IRRRL Loan Calculator Work?

This user-friendly tool requires a few simple inputs:

  • Your current VA Loan balance
  • The interest rate and loan term you’re considering for your new VA Loan
  • Whether you’re eligible to waive the VA Funding Fee
  • Estimated property taxes and homeowner’s insurance costs.

Once you input these details, the calculator will instantly generate your estimated new monthly payment, potential savings, and overall loan costs.

Enter Your Current VA Loan’s Balance

This refers to the total amount you still owe on your existing VA Loan, not including any interest or fees. You can usually find this information on your most recent mortgage statement.

Choose New Loan Terms to Calculate Your New VA Payment

Here, you’ll input the interest rate and loan term (e.g., 15 years, 30 years) that you’re considering for your VA IRRRL.  Explore different combinations to see how they impact your potential new monthly payment.

VA Funding Fee

The VA Funding Fee is a one-time fee that helps support the VA Loan program. However, certain veterans and service members may qualify to have this fee waived.  Check this box if you believe you qualify for the exemption.

Tax and Insurance

Property taxes and homeowner’s insurance are typically included in your monthly mortgage payment.  Use the sliding scales to estimate your annual costs for each. These estimates will help the calculator provide a more accurate picture of your potential new monthly payment.

Why Should I Use the VA IRRRL Calculator?

Our VA IRRRL Calculator provides a quick and easy way to estimate your potential savings by refinancing your VA Loan. It helps you explore different interest rates and loan terms to see how they impact your monthly payment, allowing you to make informed decisions about your refinance.

Can the Calculator Estimate My Funding Fee?

Yes, the calculator includes a section for the VA Funding Fee. If you’re eligible for a waiver, you can check the box to see how it affects your overall costs. If not, the calculator will factor in the standard funding fee based on your loan details.

What Costs Can I Expect When Refinancing with a VA IRRRL?

While the VA IRRRL is known for its streamlined process, there may still be some closing costs involved. These can include the VA Funding Fee (if applicable), origination fees, title insurance, and recording fees. The exact costs can vary, so it’s important to discuss them with your lender.

How Accurate Is the VA IRRRL Calculator?

Our calculator provides estimates based on the information you provide. While it’s a helpful tool for exploring your refinancing options, it’s important to remember that the actual costs and savings may differ slightly. We recommend contacting one of our Loan Officers for a personalized quote and a more precise understanding of your potential savings.
