Is FHA PMI fixed?

Is the PMI fixed, the same amount for the period of the loan?  Or it changes as balance gets lower?

It changes as the balance gets lower, it is something like 1 percent of the total amount owed.

I know PMI is 1.3%/year from loan amount but does it get lower as the balance gets lower? When is this calculated, every year?

Yeah every 12 months it lowers a few bucks.

I had my FHA loan since 2008 until I refinanced in 2012 and never noticed the MIP amount go down. I've always paid additional principle also.
