$300,000

$1,000,000 × 80% = $800,000 of total borrowing, less the $500,000 already secured against the property.

An appraisal that comes in 5% below your estimate reduces what you can access by more than 5% — because your existing mortgage does not shrink with it.

The maximum loan-to-value shown is an illustrative assumption, not a lender commitment. Actual limits depend on the lender, the property, your income and your credit. Clover Mortgage Inc. is a licensed mortgage brokerage. This calculator provides estimates for information only and is not an offer of credit, an approval, or financial advice.

Every mortgage is different. A Clover Mortgage broker can confirm what you actually qualify for across more than 50 lenders — at no cost to you.

Common questions

How much equity can I actually take out?
Conventional refinancing is generally limited to 80% of your property's value, including everything already secured against it. Alternative and private lenders may go higher. The figure shown here is illustrative — the real limit depends on the lender, the property and your qualifications.
What is loan-to-value?
Your total secured debt divided by the property value. A $500,000 balance on a $1,000,000 home is a 50% loan-to-value.
