what is the formula for calculating student loan debt for fha refinance? student debt is aprox 75k - what would be my payment

More info needed.. specifically, is your current loan FHA, and are you considering refinancing using FHA's Streamline feature.. or do you have some other loan your wanting to refinance into an FHA loan.. the rules are different so I'll try to advise you for both.. Lenders will use one of 3 ways to come up with a payment.. First, if you provide them with an anticipated payment from your Student loan lender, they will use that payment.. If you applied for a IBR (Income Based Repayment) reduced payment, and got approved, then they will use the IBR payment.. if you don't have an IBR payment, or your loan servicer will not tell you what your payment will be once it comes out of deferment, then in most instances, the lender has to use 2% of the outstanding balance which for your $75K in debt will be $1500 per month.. it's unlikely your payment will be that high, but if you cannot document your actual payment after deferment, then the lender must use this.. However, if your applying for an FHA streamline refi, then your Debt to Income ratio (DTI) is not considered.. Most lenders will do a FHA streamline without income qualifying.. Meaning they don't need tax returns, pay stubs or W2's, and it also means that it really dosent matter what the student loan payment is.. If you want to know for sure if you qualify or not, then you should try contacting a LOCAL mortgage broker and apply with them. Once they see your complete loan profile, they will be better equipped to advise you properly. Also, by applying with your LOCAL Broker, you have an advantage because he's familiar with local customs and works with many lenders with each one offering a different type of lending program. This is unlike the local bank which typically only has a few lending programs. The more lenders, the more lending options, and the more likely your scenario will be accepted.. Plus, the broker is experienced in seeking out the best loan terms for your particular scenario, and he has lower overhead which typically results in lower rates and fees than most of the larger lenders..

The banks require that we there be a minimum monthly payment for student loans even if they are in deferment. If the credit report doesn't show a minimum payment, then we would use 2% of the balance. On a $75,000 balance, the monthly payment would be $1500.00.If there is a payment provided by the student loan organization, we would use that rather than our calculation.

Generally you do not want to have to use 2% of the payment calculated into your debt to income ratio. You definitely want to get something from your lender that gives a monthly payment. If you can consolidate your student loan debts you will get one single payment (i.e. from government loans particularly.) It sounds like you might currently have the debt deferred but do try and get the best on paper you canfor what it would be if not deferred!

You generally do not want to use 2% of the total debt as the monthly payment calculation to add to your debt to income ratio.

Normally it is best to use the actual projected payment provided by the student loan company (s).
