What Is the Loan-to-Value (LTV) Calculator?
A loan-to-value calculator shows how much of an asset is financed versus owned.
How Does the Loan-to-Value (LTV) Calculator Work?
It divides the loan by the asset value and reports the percentage plus the down payment.
Loan-to-Value (LTV) Calculator Formula & Variables
The core mathematical equation utilized by this calculator is expressed as:
LTV is the loan divided by the asset value; the down payment is whatever value is not financed.
How to Use the Loan-to-Value (LTV) Calculator
- Choose whether you know the loan or the down payment, then enter the value.
Step-by-Step Example Calculation
$240,000 loan on a $300,000 home
Input Values:
mode:loan
propertyValue:300000
loanAmount:240000
Worked Steps: That is an 80% LTV, the classic PMI threshold.
Understanding Your Result
The result is the LTV percentage with the loan, down payment and PMI check.
Factors That Affect the Result
- The loan size relative to the asset value sets the LTV.
When Should You Use This Calculator?
- Use it for mortgages, car loans and any secured lending.
Assumptions & Limitations
- Uses the value you enter; appraised values can differ from purchase price.
