Introduction to HELOC

Home equity lines of credit are known as HELOC. It’s a unique kind of loan based on the equity in a homeowner’s mortgage. It differs from other home equity loans, such as mortgages and cash refinances, as well. I will show the calculation method for HELOC payments below.

HELOC Payment =  (CHB × RATE) × ( (1 + RATE)^(12 × RP)) / ( (1 + RATE)^(12 × RP) – 1 )

Where,

CHB = Current HELOC Balance (Principal)

RP= Repayment Periods in Years

RATE= Monthly Interest Rate

Hello there. This is Souptik Roy. I graduated from Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering department. I am trying to explore the world of Microsoft Excel and want to increase my analytical power apart from my Engineering degree, as I have a curious mind. this is why I am trying to learn Excel Operations and write articles to help others.

  1. What is the little up arrow carrot between c9 and c10 in the resultant formula of the heloc

  2. Hello Tom,

    The upward arrow between C9 and C10 in the formula indicates the exponent operation of mathematics. In the formula, C9 raised to the power of C10 is written as C9^C10. A simple example would be “Two Squared” which is written as 2^2 = 4, where 2 is raised to the power of 2, resulting in 4.

  3. Thank you, but hard to see how this can be correct. In your example, you borrow $3000, and if you have to pay back in 2 years at 5%, your total payment will be $150,000? That does not sound right.

    • Hello, Test. Thank you for this beautiful feedback.

      Yes, you are right. This doesn’t seem right. We found the error as we were dividing the interest rate by 100 even though it was already in Percentage format. As a result, our answer got multiplied by 100 later. That is, when calculating the 1+Rate value, we had to divide cell C6 by only 12, not 100 and 12 both.
      We have fixed the error now. You can go through the corrected article again and download our corrected workbook too.
      However, this article is written on the basis of compound interest. You can also use the simple interest formula here to find your simple HELOC Payment.
