Let’s do the home math.

A quick look at your equity and a hypothetical borrowing limit. Your numbers stay in your browser.

YOUR WORKSHEET

Put your numbers
on the board.

This percentage is an assumption to explore, not a lender offer or an eligibility threshold.

THE ESTIMATE
Current home equity$150,000
Potential additional borrowing before costs$80,000

Current combined LTV: 57.1%

Estimated borrowing = max(0, home value × assumed limit − existing secured balances). This is not an approval, valuation, or loan quote.

Equity ≠ available cash.

The first result is estimated value minus secured debt. The second applies your assumed borrowing limit. Neither accounts for closing costs, lender requirements, or the cash cushion you may want to keep.

Give the estimate context.

Include first and second mortgages and outstanding HELOC balances. Lenders may treat available credit lines differently. Try a lower home value, then consider whether a new payment would still fit your budget.
