How do I calculate equity in my home?

  1. Assess the current market value of your property.
  2. Find out the outstanding balance on your home loan.
  3. Subtract the loan balance from the property value - this is the portion you own outright or the equity in your home.
  4. Subtract the loan balance from the property value x 80% - this is the portion of the equity you can draw a loan against as lenders would typically lend up to 80% loan-to-value ratio.
  5. Continue building equity in your home by paying down your loan principal and benefiting from increasing property values (based on market movements).
