How a HELOC works

Two phases over the life of your line

Draw period~10 yrs · borrow & re-borrowRepayment period~20 yrs · pay down balance

During the draw period you borrow as needed and pay interest only on what you use. When it ends, the line closes to new draws and you repay principal plus interest.

How much could you borrow?

Lenders typically let you borrow up to about 80% of your home's value, minus your mortgage balance. Slide to see a rough estimate.

$500,000
$300,000

Estimated available credit line

$100,000

Mortgage owed Available to tap Equity kept in reserve

Estimate only, based on an 80% combined loan-to-value assumption. Your actual line depends on credit, income, the appraised value, and lender guidelines. Subject to underwriting and credit approval.

Flexible access, on your terms

Borrow only what you need

Draw funds as expenses come up and pay interest only on the balance you actually use, not the full line.

Often lower cost than cards

Because a HELOC is secured by your home, its variable rate is typically well below credit cards or personal loans.

Fixed-rate lock options

Many lenders let you lock a portion of your balance at a fixed rate, helping stabilize payments on larger draws.

Keep your first mortgage

A HELOC sits behind your existing mortgage, so you can tap equity without touching a low first-mortgage rate.

Two ways to tap your equity

HELOC or HELOAN — which fits you?

Both let you borrow against your home's equity behind your existing mortgage. The difference is how the money comes and how the rate works.

Flexible, revolving line of credit

Home Equity Line of Credit

A HELOC is a reusable credit line secured by your home. During the draw period you borrow what you need, repay, and borrow again — paying interest only on your balance. The rate is usually variable.

HELOC rates are variable, tied to the prime rate plus a margin, and can change over time; payments may increase when rates rise or when the draw period ends.

A HELOC is secured by your home. If you cannot repay, you could lose it. All loans are subject to underwriting, credit approval, and property valuation. Not a commitment to lend.

Interest may be tax deductible when funds are used to buy, build, or substantially improve the home that secures the loan, subject to IRS limits. Consult a qualified tax advisor.
