Maybe the most important aspect of whether your mortgage insurance can be canceled is your loan-to-value (LTV) ratio.

Mortgage insurance costs can be reduced if you manage to get the insurance removed early. For example, if the insurance on a 95% fixed-rate mortgage is removed in 5 years but you stay with the mortgage for 10, the cost falls to 10.8%. However, if you move in 5 years and pay off the mortgage, there is no saving.
