For mortgages with less than 5% down, the old mortgage insurance was 1.35%, compared to the lower 0.85% rate.

Calculating the Difference

Recurring mortgage insurance is determined by multiplying loan value (not purchase price) by the mortgage insurance, and dividing by 12 (months). For a borrower putting 3.5% down, the mortgage insurance on a $100,000 home loan changes from $112.50 to $70.83 per month, saving $70.83. On a higher loan of $400,000, it lowers from $450 to $183.33 per month. With the new mortgage insurance premiums, that same borrower that qualifies for $400,000 might be able to get approved for a bigger loanof $420,000 instead.
