The PMI Tax Deduction Calculator estimates the deductible and non-deductible portions of private mortgage insurance from total PMI paid, adjusted gross income, and filing status. It applies a simplified phase-out model stored in the calculator module.
Calculation method
The model begins phase-out above 50,000 for married filing separately. Each additional 500 step reduces deductible PMI by 10%, up to 100%.
Example
With 105,000 AGI for a non-married-separate filer, the excess is 4,000 x 50% = $2,000`.
Questions
Is PMI always deductible?
No. Eligibility and phase-out rules depend on tax year, filing status, income, loan type, and current law.
Does this calculate tax savings?
No. It estimates the deductible PMI amount, not the tax reduction or refund.
What if I file married separately?
The calculator uses a lower threshold and smaller phase-out step for that filing status.
Limitations
The phase-out assumptions are simplified and may not reflect current IRS rules. Verify the applicable tax year and deduction eligibility before filing.
