One way to avoid paying PMI is to make a down payment that is equal to at least one-fifth of the purchase price of the home; in mortgage-speak, the mortgage’s loan-to-value (LTV) ratio is 80%. If your new home costs $180,000, for example, you would need to put down at least $36,000 to avoid paying PMI.
Do you pay PMI on FHA loan if you put 20% down?

Does mortgage insurance go away after 20?
You must pay a mortgage insurance premium for the entire duration of your loan if you have an FHA loan and put less than 10% down. You can call your lender and request to cancel BPMI when you reach 20% equity. The only way to remove LPMI is to reach 20% equity then refinance your loan. Nov 23, 2021
When can you ask for PMI to be removed?
You have the right to request that your servicer cancel PMI when you have reached the date when the principal balance of your mortgage is scheduled to fall to 80 percent of the original value of your home. This date should have been given to you in writing on a PMI disclosure form when you received your mortgage. Sep 13, 2017
