Estimate Your Home Equity

This calculator is for educational purposes only and does not represent loan approval or available HELOC amount.

Simple Home Equity Formula

Estimated Home Value − Current Mortgage Balance = Estimated Home Equity

Example: If your home is worth $550,000 and you owe $300,000, your estimated equity is $250,000.

Step 1

Estimate your home value.
Use recent comparable sales, online valuation tools, or your own market estimate.

Step 2

Find your mortgage balance.
Check your latest mortgage statement or online mortgage portal.

Step 3

Subtract balance from value.
The difference is your estimated home equity.

Equity Is Not the Same as HELOC Approval

Having home equity does not automatically mean you qualify for a specific HELOC amount.

Eligibility also depends on credit score, property type, occupancy, income, existing debt, requested loan amount, and program guidelines.

✓ Experian FICO 9 score
✓ Estimated home value

Home Equity FAQ

How do I calculate home equity?

Subtract your current mortgage balance from your estimated home value.

Is home equity the amount I can borrow?

No. Your available HELOC amount depends on program guidelines, credit, equity, occupancy, property type, and other factors.

Do I need an appraisal?

For loan amounts of $400,000 or less, a full appraisal is generally not required. An AVM or BPO may be used.

Will checking HELOC eligibility hurt my credit?

No. The initial MyExpressHELOC™ review uses a soft-pull Experian FICO 9 inquiry.
