A standard FHA forward purchase mortgage has a $240,000 base loan amount. At the current 1.75% upfront mortgage insurance premium rate, how much UFMIP is added if the borrower finances the entire premium?

Multiply $240,000 by 0.0175 to obtain $4,200. Financing that upfront premium produces a $244,200 total mortgage amount.
