HELOCs usually have a draw period (interest-only, often ~10 years) then a repayment period (principal + interest). Rates are typically variable, so real payments move with the index. Estimate only — not lending advice.

The two phases of a HELOC

A home equity line of credit has a draw period where you can borrow and typically pay interest only — a low, tempting payment — followed by a repayment period where you pay principal and interest, so the payment jumps. Because most HELOCs carry a variable rate, both amounts change if rates move.

Interest-only = balance × monthly rate; repayment amortizes the balance over the term

Quick FAQ

Why does the payment jump so much?

During the draw period you're not paying down principal at all. When repayment starts, the full balance must amortize over the remaining term, so principal is suddenly added to the interest.

Is the rate fixed?

Usually not — HELOCs are commonly variable, tied to the prime rate. Some lenders offer fixed-rate lock options on portions of the balance.
