Understand Your Remaining Home Equity
You’re smart, and you care about your financial future—so knowing what’s left of your home equity after taking a HELOC is critical. Why? Because home equity isn’t just a number; it’s part of your wealth.
When you use this Home Equity Estimator, you’ll see two results:
- Your HELOC Borrowing Amount—how much you could access.
- Remaining Home Equity—the cushion you’ll still have after borrowing.
Here’s an example:
- Home Value: $500,000
- Mortgage Balance: $300,000
- LTV Ratio: 80%
This means you could borrow up to $100,000 through a HELOC while keeping $100,000 of equity untouched. That’s your safety net—equity you can rely on as your home value grows.
When you know the numbers, you stay in control of your finances. Simple, right?
