Loan-to-Value (LTV) Calculator

Calculate your loan-to-value ratio to determine how much equity you have and how much you can borrow against your home.

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
