Estimate a fixed home equity loan scenario.

A home equity loan calculator helps estimate the payment on a fixed loan secured by available home equity. Unlike a HELOC, a home equity loan often provides a lump sum with a fixed repayment schedule.

This page estimates monthly payment, total interest, total repayment, and combined loan-to-value based on the home value, current mortgage balance, and new loan amount.

Use the estimate to compare a home equity loan with a HELOC, cash-out refinance, or other financing option before requesting lender quotes.

This calculator is for educational and planning purposes only. It is not financial advice, a loan approval, a tax bill, or a lender quote.

Formula

How the calculation works

Monthly payment uses the standard fixed-rate amortization formula. Combined LTV is current mortgage balance plus new home equity loan amount divided by home value.

Example calculation

A $50,000 home equity loan at 8.5% for 15 years has an estimated payment around $492. On a $500,000 home with a $300,000 mortgage, combined LTV is 70%.
