What's a Loan-to-Value Ratio?

Your loan-to-value ratio (LTV) is a percentage that indicates how much equity you have in your home. LTV is used to help determine rates for home equity loans and lines of credit.

To calculate your LTV, divide your mortgage balance by your property's value like this:

Mortgage balance / Property value = LTV
