Home Equity Calculator

Home equity = current market value - mortgage balance. If your home is worth $400,000 and you owe $250,000, your equity is $150,000 (37.5%). Use online estimators (Zillow, Redfin) for approximate value, or get a professional appraisal for accuracy.

Most lenders allow up to 80% of home value minus mortgage balance. Example: $400,000 home × 80% = $320,000 - $250,000 mortgage = $70,000 max HELOC. Some lenders offer up to 90% for excellent credit.

HELOC is a revolving credit line with variable rate — draw funds as needed, pay interest only on what you use. Home equity loan is a lump sum with fixed rate and fixed payments. Choose HELOC for flexibility or HEL for payment predictability.
