  • Interest-only payment on draw$283.33
  • Amortizing payment after draw period$393.90

The LTV cap is your assumption. Rates and lender limits vary; unused credit, fees and future draws are not modeled.

How this was calculated

Available line = home value × combined LTV cap − existing mortgage.

Interest-only monthly payment = drawn balance × annual rate ÷ 12.

How heloc is calculated

Available line = home value × assumed combined LTV cap − existing mortgage balance, floored at zero. Interest-only payments use the actual drawn amount, not the unused line.

Worked example

At $400,000 value and an 80% combined LTV cap, total secured borrowing is capped at $320,000. Subtracting a $240,000 mortgage leaves an $80,000 modeled line.

Frequently asked questions

Why can the payment increase after the draw period?

Interest-only payments do not reduce principal. Amortizing the same drawn balance over the repayment term adds principal repayment, even if the rate stays unchanged.
