How is this calculated? DetailsEnter balances and interest rates for up to 5 debts (e.g., credit cards, personal loans). The calculator sums the balances and calculates a weighted average interest rate and estimated monthly payments (assuming minimum payments). For the consolidated loan (HELOC or Cash-Out Refinance), it calculates the loan amount (debt total + origination fee), monthly PITI (principal, interest, taxes at 0.6% of home value/year, insurance at $125/month), and total interest over the term. Savings compare current debt payments to the consolidated loan. The equity check ensures the loan amount plus existing mortgage does not exceed 80% of home value. Warning: Using home equity risks foreclosure if payments are missed.
