How to Use the Home Equity Loan Calculator

A Home Equity Loan, often called a "second mortgage," allows you to borrow against the value of your home. This calculator helps you determine how much money you can realistically access and what your monthly payments might look like.

Understanding the Key Metrics

  • Estimated Home Value: The current market price of your property. For the most accurate results, use a recent appraisal or a professional estimate.
  • Mortgage Balance: The total remaining principal on your primary mortgage.
  • Loan-to-Value (LTV) Limit: Most lenders allow a maximum Combined Loan-to-Value (CLTV) of 80% to 85%. This means your total debt (first mortgage + home equity loan) cannot exceed that percentage of your home's value.
  • Loan Term: Home equity loans typically have fixed terms ranging from 5 to 20 years.

Home Equity Calculation Example

Imagine you own a home worth $500,000 and you still owe $300,000 on your mortgage. You want to take out a loan for home renovations.

  1. Calculate Total Equity: $500,000 – $300,000 = $200,000 total equity.
  2. Determine Max Borrowing (80% LTV): $500,000 × 0.80 = $400,000 total allowable debt.
  3. Subtract Existing Mortgage: $400,000 – $300,000 = $100,000 maximum loan amount.

Benefits of a Home Equity Loan

Home equity loans are popular for major expenses because they often offer lower interest rates than credit cards or personal loans. Common uses include:

  • Home Improvements: Investing back into the property to increase its value.
  • Debt Consolidation: Paying off high-interest credit card debt with a lower-interest fixed-rate loan.
  • Major Expenses: Funding education, medical bills, or large emergency repairs.
Pro Tip: Unlike a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit), a Home Equity Loan provides a lump sum with a fixed interest rate, making it easier to budget for monthly payments over the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a loan with 90% LTV?

Some lenders offer high-LTV loans up to 90%, but these usually come with significantly higher interest rates and require a near-perfect credit score.

Will a home equity loan affect my credit score?

Initially, your score may dip slightly due to the "hard inquiry" and the new debt. However, making consistent on-time payments can benefit your score over time.

What happens if I sell my house?

If you sell your home, the home equity loan must be paid off in full from the proceeds of the sale, just like your primary mortgage.
