How to Calculate your Home's Equity for
a Home Equity Line of Credit

There is a simple formula for calculating how much equity you have available:

Appraised home value x .85 - current mortgage balance = potential home equity

Here's a real-life example assuming your home's appraised value is $150,000 and your current mortgage balance is $70,000:

($150,000 x .85) - $70,000 = $57,500 potential lendable home equity
