Discount Points: The interest rate above shows the option of purchasing discount points to lower a loan’s interest rate and monthly payment. One point amounts to 1% of the loan amount and is paid at closing. Points don’t always have to be round numbers. Purchasing 1.5 points would cost $4,500 on a $300,000 mortgage. Rates displayed are the "as low as" rates for purchase loans and refinances. Jumbo Loans: Loans over a certain amount are called jumbo loans. In most states, mortgage loans greater than $766,550 are jumbo loans. In AK and HI, any loan over $1,149,826 is considered a jumbo loan. |

Conventional Fixed-Rate FAQs
What's a mortgage rate?
A mortgage rate is the interest rate you're charged on the loan you borrowed to fund the purchase of a home. Mortgage rates can be fixed or variable. Navy Federal uses many factors to determine your mortgage interest rate, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Credit score
- Debt-to-income ratio
- Type of loan you're applying for
- Loan amount
- Loan term
- Property location
- Property type
- U.S. economic market conditions
Ultimately, your mortgage rate depends on your own financial wellness and the broader conditions of the economy.
How does the Federal Reserve affect mortgage rates?
There’s a common misconception that mortgage rates rise and fall with the Federal Reserve funds rate. Actually, the most common mortgage—the 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage—is more closely tied to the 10-year Treasury yield. That's the yield that reflects how investors feel about the economy. The federal funds rate is just a minor component of that yield.
What's the difference between interest rates and APR?
In the case of mortgage loans, an interest rate is the cost you pay annually to borrow money, expressed as a percent rate. It does not reflect fees or any other charges you may have to pay for the loan. In contrast, APR (annual percentage rate) includes the interest rate plus all lender charges paid upfront for the loan, such as discount points and mortgage lender fees.
What will my monthly payment be?
Our Mortgage Calculator can help you find out how much your monthly mortgage payment could be, based on your home's purchase price and the terms of your loan.
How do I get preapproved for a mortgage?
Navy Federal offers 2 types of preapprovals: a basic preapproval and a verified preapproval. To get preapproved and learn more, visit our preapproval page.
