How to Use This HELOC Calculator

Understanding Your Results

Max HELOC: Your maximum HELOC is the difference between what your lender's CLTV cap allows and your existing mortgage balance.

Draw Period: During the draw phase, you can borrow up to your limit and typically make interest-only payments. Payments rise as you draw more.

Repayment Period: When the draw phase ends, the line closes and the outstanding balance amortizes into fixed monthly principal-and-interest payments.

Tips for Using a HELOC Wisely
Borrow only what you need — the draw amount drives both your monthly cost and your CLTV
Plan for payment shock when the repayment phase begins and payments include principal
Most HELOCs have variable rates — stress-test your budget against a 2–3% rate increase
Keep CLTV under 80% if possible to qualify for better rates and avoid PMI-like add-ons
Use HELOC funds for value-adding investments (renovations, debt consolidation), not depreciating purchases
