2022 VA Loan Limit Calculator
VA loan limits no longer apply to qualified Veterans with their full VA loan entitlement.
Veterans with reduced VA loan entitlement must still follow VA loan limits. Keep in mind, VA loan limits are not a maximum on how much you can borrow but help determine how much you can borrow without needing to factor in a down payment.

About VA Loan Limits
VA loan limits received a massive increase in 2022. The standard VA loan limit in 2022 is $647,200 for most U.S. counties, increasing from $548,250 in 2021.
VA loan limits also increased for high-cost counties, topping out at $970,800 for a single-family home.
VA loan limits do not represent a cap or max loan amount. Veterans with their full entitlement can get as much as a lender is willing to give them without needing a down payment. However, Veterans with one or more active VA loans or who have defaulted on a previous VA loan will encounter the limits, which will in part determine their zero-down buying power.
VA Loan Limit Example
Let’s assume you’re currently using $60,000 of your VA loan entitlement and want to purchase a new home in a standard cost county ($647,200 loan limit). Because the VA guarantees a quarter of the loan amount, the maximum entitlement in this county is currently $161,800.
Here’s how the typical VA loan limit calculations look:
- $161,800 - $60,000 in current entitlement = $101,800 remaining entitlement
- $101,800 remaining entitlement x 4 = $407,200
$407,200 represents how much you can borrow before needing a down payment.
In this example, you can purchase a home with $0 down up to $407,200. Anything above that mark would require a down payment equal to 25 percent of the difference between that ceiling and the purchase price.
