About the Home Equity Calculator
This Excel home equity calculator helps homeowners understand and maximize the value locked in their property. Enter your current home value, purchase price, mortgage balance, and appreciation rate to instantly see your total equity, equity percentage, and loan-to-value ratio. A built-in HELOC calculator determines your maximum borrowable amount, available credit line, combined LTV after borrowing, and estimated monthly payments. A 10-year projection table with an accompanying line chart forecasts how your home value, mortgage balance, and equity will evolve over time. Factor in purchasing-power erosion with the Inflation Calculator for a complete long-term picture. Color-coded conditional formatting flags high LTV ratios, making this an essential tool for refinancing and borrowing decisions.
