How this calculator works

Draw payment = balance × r; Repayment = balance amortised over the repayment period

r
the monthly rate, which is usually variable on a HELOC

These figures come straight from the calculator above running on the values listed, so you can retype them and confirm every number yourself. Change any input and the results update immediately. Illustrative only — not a quote, offer or recommendation.

Important considerations

  • HELOC rates typically float, so both payments can move.
  • Nothing is repaid during the draw period unless you choose to overpay.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when the draw period ends?

The line closes to new borrowing and the balance amortises, which usually more than doubles the payment.
