Can I cancel PMI after 1 year?
“After you’ve been on the loan for one year, the lender should automatically dissolve the PMI when you have 22% equity in the home.” However, understand that the lender will only automatically drop your PMI when you’ve reached 22% equity from paying down your home loan — they will not do so for market equity.

Can I request to have PMI 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
Should I pay extra on my mortgage to get rid of PMI?
Eliminating your PMI will reduce your monthly payments, giving you an immediate return on your investment. Homeowners can then apply the extra savings back towards the principal of the mortgage loan, ultimately paying off their mortgage even faster.
