It estimates how much cash you can pull from your home's equity in a cash-out refinance, along with your new loan amount and monthly payment.
The Complete Guide
A cash-out refinance replaces your existing mortgage with a larger one and hands you the difference in cash. It is a way to convert home equity into spendable funds, typically at a lower rate than personal loans or credit cards.
The trade-off is that you reset your loan and pay the new rate on the entire balance. If your current rate is well below today's market, a cash-out refinance can be expensive; a HELOC that leaves your first mortgage intact may cost less.
Use the calculator to see both the cash available and the new payment side by side. The right choice depends on how much cash you need, how the new rate compares to your old one, and what you plan to do with the funds.
How the Calculator Works
The calculator multiplies your home value by the maximum loan-to-value ratio to find the largest new loan allowed, subtracts your existing balance and closing costs, and shows the cash left over plus the new payment on the larger loan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much equity can I cash out?
Most lenders cap a primary-residence cash-out refinance at 80% loan-to-value, so your cash is the gap between that ceiling and your current balance, minus closing costs.
Cash-out refinance or HELOC?
A cash-out refinance replaces your whole mortgage at the new rate, while a HELOC adds a second loan and leaves your first mortgage untouched. If your existing rate is low, a HELOC often costs less.
