## Quick Answer

Calculate your HELOC payments for both the draw and repayment periods. Enter the loan amount, interest rate, draw period, and repayment term.

## Definition

A HELOC calculator (Home Equity Line of Credit) is a financial planning utility designed to model the payments of a revolving loan secured by home equity. A HELOC typically consists of two phases: a draw period (usually 5 to 10 years) where the borrower can borrow funds and only pays monthly interest, followed by a repayment period (usually 10 to 20 years) where the outstanding balance is amortized and paid off in equal monthly payments. Homeowners use this calculator to estimate monthly cash flow requirements and project the total interest cost of borrowing against their home equity.

## How to Use

1. **Enter loan amount and rate** — Type the total amount borrowed or credit line balance, and the annual interest rate (APR).
2. **Specify phases** — Input the duration of the draw period (interest-only phase) and the repayment period (amortizing phase) in years.
3. **Read payments** — Review the estimated monthly payments for the draw period and the repayment period, alongside the total interest over the life of the line of credit.
