Using the LTV Calculator
The Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio is a critical number lenders use to assess risk. In real estate, an LTV above 80% often requires Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). This tool helps you find that sweet spot for your down payment.
How it Works
1
Enter the purchase price or appraised value of the asset.
2
Input your total loan amount (or down payment).
3
Review the calculated LTV percentage.
4
Check if your LTV falls below the 80% threshold to avoid PMI.
Technical Formula
LTV = (Loan Amount / Appraised Value) x 100
