Home equity represents what your home is worth, based on a difference between your home’s value and the amount you still owe to your mortgage lender.

Refinancing your home is a smart option because it allows you to get a better interest term and rate. But how much equity do you need to refinance a mortgage loan, and what is it?

What does this number mean

Home equity simply refers to the difference between the value of your home and the remaining balance on your mortgage or mortgages. Naturally, since home values fluctuate, your home equity changes according to the appraised value of your home. In addition, as you make mortgage payments and pay off your loan, you are increasing your home equity.

For example, if your home value is currently $200,000 and you have paid off $20,000, you have 10% in home equity. To calculate your home equity, use this equation: (amount you have paid off ÷ current home value) X 100 = equity. So, using the numbers from the example above: (20,000 ÷ 200,000) X 100 = 10% equity.
