Frequently Asked Questions
How is available equity calculated?
Available equity equals your home value minus the current mortgage balance. The calculator shows this amount and what percentage of it you are borrowing.
What is combined loan-to-value?
Combined LTV adds the mortgage balance and home equity loan together, then divides by the home value. Lenders typically cap combined LTV at 80% to 90%.
Does it include the existing mortgage payment?
The schedule covers only the home equity loan payment. Your existing mortgage payment continues separately.
Can I compare different loan amounts?
Yes. Change the desired loan amount and the schedule recalculates instantly showing the new payment and total interest.
How do I open this in Google Sheets?
Upload the .xlsx file to Google Drive, then open it with Google Sheets. All formulas and formatting will be preserved.
