Your VA loan today

The IRRRL is the simplest refi in mortgage lending -- no appraisal in most cases, no income docs, no DTI check. We just need your current loan numbers and how long you have had it.

VA requires 210 days plus 6 on-time payments. That's roughly 7 months. Below that and the lender cannot submit the IRRRL.

Numbers above are estimates from standard mortgage math and 2026 program rules. Your actual rate depends on your credit, debt-to-income, property type, and lender pricing. RobotRefi is not a lender and does not originate loans.

How RobotRefi calculates this

01

Funding fee rolls into the new loan

VA's 2026 IRRRL funding fee is 0.50% of the loan amount, flat. No tiered structure anymore. It gets added to the new loan balance, which raises the principal you are amortizing. The calculator adds funding fee plus closing costs to the balance before computing the new payment.

02

Two hard gates before the math matters

Seasoning: 210 days plus 6 payments. Net tangible benefit: 0.50% rate drop for fixed-to-fixed. Both must pass before a lender can submit the IRRRL to VA. If either fails, the loan does not close regardless of what the payment math shows.

03

Break-even includes everything upfront

Break-even = (funding fee + closing costs) / monthly savings. It tells you the exact month the IRRRL starts paying for itself net of all upfront costs. The lifetime savings figure subtracts those costs from total interest avoided over the remaining loan term.
