How much can you borrow against your home?

Lenders let you borrow up to a percentage of your home's value — the loan-to-value (LTV) limit, often 80–90% — minus what you still owe. The gap between that ceiling and your mortgage balance is roughly what a HELOC or home equity loan could give you.

Available ≈ (value × max LTV) − mortgage balance

Quick FAQ

HELOC vs. home equity loan?

A HELOC is a revolving line you draw from as needed (usually variable-rate); a home equity loan is a one-time lump sum at a fixed rate. Both are secured by your home.

What LTV do lenders allow?

Commonly 80–90% of the home's value including your existing mortgage. A higher credit score can unlock the upper end.
