Equity Release Calculator
Want to know how much capital you can unlock through equity release? Use our calculator and let us match you with your ideal advisor.
No impact on your credit score
An equity release agreement, such as a lifetime mortgage, allows you to unlock any capital you’ve built up in your property as a tax-free lump sum, instalments or a combination of these two options.
You can use our calculator below to work out how much equity you can release.
Equity Release Calculator

Why use this equity release calculator?
You can use this calculator if you want an idea of the amount of capital you could release from your home through an equity release mortgage.
The results will be based on your age and the property’s value – you can play around with these variables to see how the maximum amount of equity you can access might change if you were to wait a few years, or if house prices change.
The main benefits of using an equity release calculator include…
- It can give you a good indication of how much equity you can release
- These calculations can then be compared with alternatives such as a RIO mortgage
- They can also be used for forward planning and budgeting
- Our calculator is free to use and no personal details need to be entered into it
As with any online calculator, this one offers rough estimates as a starting point. Keep in mind that these calculations are not bespoke to you and could benefit from additional context.
For bespoke calculations and personalised advice about what to do after you’ve crunched the numbers, speak to an independent equity release advisor.

Will it work for a home reversion plan?
The calculations are broadly similar for a home reversion plan, but bear in mind that you cannot qualify for one if you are under the age of 60, and the maximum amount of capital you can receive is usually between 30% and 60% of your home’s market value.
While you can use this calculator for a very rough indication of the amount of equity you could release through this method, it’s worth noting that most experts do not recommend home reversion plans as they require the borrower to relinquish ownership of their property.
Most retirement mortgage advisors would urge homeowners to research lifetime mortgages and other alternatives before considering taking out a home reversion plan.

How much equity you could release by remortgaging
One alternative to equity release is remortgaging your property to release equity. If this is an option you’re considering, you can use our calculator below to work out how much capital you could unlock when you refinance, as well as how your mortgage payments will change.
Remortgage Calculator
Our remortgage calculator can tell you what your new loan-to-value (LTV) ratio and repayments will be after you've remortgaged, with or without releasing equity from your property.
New LTV:
After you have remortgaged, your new LTV ratio will be and your new mortgage payments will be as indicated below…
