The average cost of Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is approximately $85.00 a month. It's not the cost that outrages people, it is the fact that they often pay on the coverage long after they have reached 20% equity.

The problem of overpayment was addressed by the cancellation provision of the Homeowners Protection Act which called for automatic termination once 22% equity was reached.

This law however, does not have a grandfather clause and only helps homeowners who purchased after July 20, 1999.

Homeowners who purchased prior to this date however have a friend within the Private Mortgage Insurance business. PMI Savings gives homeowners tips and pointers on how to remove PMI.
