How it works

Equity is home value minus all mortgage debt and liens. We also compute your loan-to-value and the amount typically tappable at 80% LTV.

Most lenders cap borrowing at 80–85% LTV combined across all loans.

The foundation of every equity option

Whether you’re considering a reverse mortgage, a HELOC or a cash-out refinance, it all starts with equity: your home’s value minus everything you owe against it. Lenders also watch loan-to-value — they’ll usually let your combined borrowing reach about 80–85% of the home’s value. This calculator shows your equity, your LTV and roughly how much room you have left to tap.
