Uses of a HELOC
So, what can your home equity do for you? Knowing your equity limit opens up several possibilities for reaching your goals. Home renovations are a common choice for homeowners tapping into their equity, as it allows them to increase their property’s value while creating the home they’ve always wanted. Whether it’s a new kitchen, a backyard update, or even an additional room, your equity can make these improvements accessible.
But home improvements are just one way to benefit. Many people use their equity for debt consolidation, taking advantage of lower interest rates compared to credit cards or personal loans. This can be a smart strategy to streamline payments and also potentially save on interest, helping you manage your finances more effectively. Others may use their equity to invest in education, cover major life events, or even build up a reserve for unexpected expenses.
There’s a whole range of possibilities. With a home equity loan or line of credit, you can pursue a variety of financial goals, whether you’re looking to invest in your property, manage debt more effectively, or support personal projects that require significant funding. Your home’s equity becomes a flexible tool that allows you to take control of your financial future, all while putting your most valuable asset to work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Home Equity Limit Estimator?
The Home Equity Limit Estimator is a tool that lets you find out how much of your home’s value you could use for a loan or line of credit. It gives you an estimate of the funds you may be able to borrow based on your home’s current value and any existing mortgage balance.

Can I use the HELOC limit estimator if I have more than one mortgage
Yes, you can use the HELOC limit estimator even if you have more than one mortgage. The estimator will factor in all existing mortgages when calculating the amount of home equity you can potentially use. Which could affect the final amount available to you for a HELOC.
How accurate is the HELOC limit estimator?
The HELOC limit estimator is made to give you a close estimate based on your home’s value and any outstanding mortgage balances. It uses guidelines and current market data to give you an estimate, but it is still an estimate. It’s also to help you get on the right track with what could be available to you.
Does using the HELOC limit estimator affect my credit score?
No, using the HELOC limit estimator will not affect your credit score. It only requires basic information and also doesn’t involve a credit check.
