How it’s worked out
  1. Most you can borrow = home value × 85% − mortgage balance = $400,000.00 × 0.85 − $250,000.00 = $90,000.00
  2. P (amount borrowed) = $50,000.00
  3. r (rate per payment) = 8.25% ÷ 12 = 0.006875
  4. n (number of payments) = 15 × 12 = 180
  5. Monthly payment = $485.07

Common questions

How much can I borrow with a home equity loan?

Lenders usually let your first mortgage plus the new loan reach 80% to 90% of the home value. At 85% on a $400,000 home with $250,000 owed, that is $340,000 − $250,000 = $90,000.

Home equity loan or HELOC?

A home equity loan is a lump sum at a fixed rate and payment. A HELOC is a credit line with a variable rate that you draw as needed. Use the HELOC calculator to compare.
