What is the VA funding fee in 2026, and who is exempt?

The VA funding fee is a federal charge added to a VA loan that varies by down payment size, loan type and whether it's a veteran's first or subsequent use of the benefit, and no specific current rate is verified on this site. Veterans receiving VA disability compensation, and certain surviving spouses, are generally exempt from paying it. A VA-approved lender can confirm exemption status and quote the exact current fee for a specific loan scenario.
