How this calculator works

LTV = balance ÷ value × 100

balance
the amount still owed on the property
value
the lender's valuation, not the asking price

Important considerations

  • Lenders price in bands, so crossing 80% or 75% can change the rate materially.
  • A falling market raises your LTV even if you keep repaying.

Frequently asked questions

Why does LTV matter?

It measures the lender's risk. Lower LTVs attract lower rates and can remove mortgage insurance requirements.
