How this calculator works

Loan-to-value (LTV) compares a loan with the value of the property securing it. A lower LTV means more equity and usually less risk for the lender.

LTV = first loan ÷ property value × 100.

Combined LTV (CLTV) = (first loan + other liens) ÷ property value × 100.

Equity = property value − first loan − other liens. If the value is 0, LTV has no meaning, so the tool asks for a value instead of returning a bogus ratio.

Lenders set their own LTV limits by program, so check the requirement that applies to you.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good loan-to-value ratio?
Lower is generally better for the borrower. Many lenders treat 80% as a common reference point, but each program sets its own limit.
What does combined LTV add?
It folds other liens, such as a second mortgage or HELOC balance, into the ratio, which is what many lenders review when you apply for more credit.
How is equity figured here?
Property value minus the first loan and any other liens. It is the share of the property you effectively own.
Can I use this for a refinance?
Yes. Enter the new loan amount and the property value to see the LTV a refinance would produce.
