Unpaid Principal Balance: UPB cannot include late charges, escrow shortages, delinquent interest, late fees, fax or courier fees, or processing type fees.  Lenders are not allowed to “net escrows” (i.e., payoff reduced by escrow account balance) on the loan being paid off.
$
Plus Interest due on current loan: Delinquent interest cannot be included. This amount includes only the amount of interest charged by the servicing lender when the payoff will not likely be received on the first day of the month.
$
Minus UFMIP Refund: The amount of the refund cannot exceed the new UFMIP being charged on the new loan transaction.
