The Equity in Your Home

Available Equity Based on Loan-to-Value

80% LTV
85% LTV
90% LTV
95% LTV

The amount of equity available for a home equity loan or home equity line of credit is determined by the loan-to-value ratio of the home and the ratio requirements of the lender. A loan-to-value ratio is calculated by taking total mortgage debt (including any second mortgages or existing home equity loans) and dividing it by the current, appraised value of the home. The size of a home equity loan or line of credit will also depend on the loan-to-value requirements of the lender. Higher loan-to-value requirements can result in larger home equity loans or lines of credit.

You can borrow up to 95% of your home’s value (maximum Home Equity Loan of $250,000), which includes any balance owned on an existing first mortgage loan. The maximum loan-to-value varies based on credit tier, combined LTV and loan amount requested.
