Credit at your convenience
A home equity line of credit, or HELOC, lets you draw on your home’s value at your convenience. You’ll receive a line of credit you can access when needed, which helps you borrow only what you really want. Use your HELOC for anything you want, including home improvements or everyday repairs.

To calculate how much you can borrow, take your home’s current value and multiply it by 60%, 80% or 100%. Take that figure and subtract how much you still owe on your current mortgage. The result is your available equity.
For example: If your home is worth $100,000, then $80,000 will be 80% of it. Next, if your current mortgage balance is $50,000, you will subtract it from $80,000. The maximum amount you can borrow for 80% is $30,000.
