The formula

How this calculation works

Lenders typically allow borrowing up to 85% of home value minus existing mortgage balance.

HELOC Calculator

Available equity = Home value × 0.85 − Outstanding mortgage; HELOC max = min(Available equity, Credit line)

Equity=400000×0.85−200000=$140,000; available from HELOC=min(140000,100000)=$100,000
