The amount you can borrow with a HELOC depends on factors such as the equity in your home, your creditworthiness, and the lender’s policies. Typically, you can borrow up to a certain percentage (e.g., 80-90%) of your home’s appraised value minus any outstanding mortgage balance.
How much can I borrow with a HELOC?
At People Driven Credit Union, most members can borrow up to 80–90% of their home’s appraised value, minus the remaining balance on their first mortgage. This is called the Combined Loan-to-Value (CLTV) ratio.
Factors That Determine Your Borrowing Limit
Your maximum HELOC amount is based on:
- How much equity have you built up in your home
- Your credit score and payment history
- Your income and current debt levels
- The current appraised value of your home
Why This Matters
Understanding your borrowing limit helps you plan your home improvements or other goals without overextending. Our team will give you a clear, personalized estimate during the application process.
