The lender or servicer must automatically terminate PMI when your mortgage balance reaches 78 percent of the original purchase price — in other words, when your loan-to-value (LTV) ratio drops to 78 percent. This is provided you are in good standing and haven’t missed any mortgage payments. Oct 25, 2021
