We are an educational company, not a lender. We do not make loans, underwrite loans, or provide financial advice. All loan terms, rates, and approvals are determined solely by a licensed lender of your choice. This service is not a loan application. These figures are estimates provided for educational purposes only and are not a loan offer, quote, rate lock, or commitment to lend. Your actual payment will differ. Property taxes and homeowners insurance shown here are estimates and may be understated or excluded, and other costs — such as mortgage insurance, HOA dues, flood insurance, and closing costs — may not be reflected. For a detailed, personalized quote, consult a licensed lender or loan officer.
Rates shown are illustrative approximations — not actual available rates. Adjust the rate selector to any figure you are considering. Estimates only, using an illustrative interest rate and tax and insurance data for your selected state (county-level where county data is available). Not a quote, offer, or commitment to lend. Verify every figure with a licensed lender in your state before relying on it. For informational and educational purposes only.
Jumbo 30-Year Fixed Rate — Last 12 Months
Optimal Blue OBMMI monthly average · as of July 2026What makes a loan “jumbo”?
A jumbo loan exceeds the conforming loan limit the FHFA sets each year — about $832,750 for a single-family home in most U.S. counties in 2026, with higher limits (up to $1,249,125) in designated high-cost counties. Because jumbo loans can't be sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, lenders hold more of the risk, so they typically want stronger credit (often 700+), larger cash reserves, and 10–20%+ down.
The monthly-payment math is the same as a conventional loan — principal, interest, taxes, and insurance — which is what this calculator estimates. What differs is qualifying: expect closer review of income, assets, and reserves. This tool is educational and uses an illustrative rate; a licensed lender confirms the current conforming limit for your county and your actual terms.
Frequently asked questions
What is a jumbo loan?
A jumbo loan is a mortgage larger than the conforming loan limit set each year by the FHFA — about $832,750 for a single-family home in most U.S. counties in 2026, and up to $1,249,125 in designated high-cost counties. Because it can't be sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, lenders keep more risk and qualifying is stricter.
How is qualifying different from a conventional loan?
The payment math is the same, but jumbo lenders typically want stronger credit (often 700+), 10 to 20 percent or more down, and larger cash reserves. This tool estimates the payment; a licensed lender confirms the conforming limit for your county and your actual terms.
