Worked example
A $40,000 interest-only draw at 9% is $300 a month ($3,600 the first year). The same draw amortized over 10 years at 8.4% is a higher payment because principal is included. A $80,000 line on a $300,000 house that already has $180,000 on the first mortgage is 86.7% CLTV — over a common 85% cap.
Frequently asked questions
- Interest-only vs amortizing?
- Interest-only monthly = draw × annual rate / 12. The balance does not fall. Amortizing uses a standard fully amortizing payment on the drawn amount.
- What CLTV is flagged?
- Combined loan-to-value of first mortgage + HELOC draw over home value. Many lenders start tightening near 85%.
- Is this the same as HELOC vs cash-out?
- No. This page is payment-only. Use the HELOC vs cash-out refinance calculator to compare a line against a new first mortgage.
- Variable rate?
- Type the rate you want to stress. The page does not forecast prime or SOFR resets.
- Uploaded?
- No.
