Lenders usually cap combined loan-to-value around 80–85%. If your combined LTV is above that, you may need a smaller loan.

How it works

Available equity = home value × 85% − current balance. Payment uses the amortising formula over the chosen term.

Example: $400,000 home, $150,000 owed → up to $190,000; $50,000 at 8% for 15 years → $478/month.

How much can I borrow with a home equity loan?

Lenders generally allow you to borrow up to 80–85% of your home's value combined across all loans. Your maximum is (value × 85%) − current mortgage balance.
