LTV Calculator — Current Equity and Original-Value PMI Thresholds

Calculate current-value LTV separately from original-value conventional PMI request and scheduled-termination balances.

Quick answer: Calculate current-value LTV separately from original-value conventional PMI request and scheduled-termination thresholds. Enter Current Home Value (or Purchase Price), Current Loan Balance (or Loan Amount), Estimated PMI Rate (% of loan/yr), and Original Property Value for PMI to personalize the estimate. It returns Current LTV, Equity, and Balance Needed to Cancel PMI (80% LTV) so you can compare the impact before choosing a next step. Use it to compare payment, equity, rate, and timing tradeoffs before applying or changing a loan.

About mortgage rates

Mortgage rates depend on loan type (30-yr fixed, 15-yr fixed, ARM, FHA, VA, jumbo), your credit score, down payment, points paid, loan amount, property state, and whether you're purchasing or refinancing. The calculator above uses a representative market rate for payment estimates — your actual rate will vary.

For a personalized rate comparison, use the tool below to see lenders ranked by APR, loan type, and your profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know.

When can I remove PMI?
For covered conventional loans, borrower-request and scheduled-termination rules generally refer to original value and include additional conditions. Current-value cancellation may be available under investor or servicer rules, but it is not established by this calculator.
How is PMI calculated?
PMI rates vary by lender, credit score, and LTV. Typical rates range from 0.5% to 1.5% of the loan amount annually. At 0.85% on a $320,000 loan, that is $2,720 per year or $227 per month. The default rate in this calculator (0.8%) is a commonly cited benchmark.
What is the difference between LTV and CLTV?
LTV uses only your first mortgage. CLTV (combined LTV) includes all liens — first mortgage + HELOC or home equity loan. Lenders typically limit CLTV to 85-90% for home equity products. If you are applying for a HELOC, add your proposed HELOC amount to your mortgage balance in the loan field to see CLTV.
Is the LTV Calculator — Current Equity and Original-Value PMI Thresholds free to use?
Yes. SwitchWize calculators are free, and you do not need an account to run scenarios or view the result.
Does using the LTV Calculator — Current Equity and Original-Value PMI Thresholds affect my credit score?
No. Using a calculator does not trigger a credit check. A credit impact can occur only if you apply directly with a lender, card issuer, or provider.
Are the results personalized financial advice?
No. Calculator outputs are educational estimates based on the inputs you enter. Review assumptions and confirm terms directly with providers before making a financial decision.
What should I do after seeing the result?
Use the recommendation module on this page to see current mortgage rates, or run Money Map to compare this home & mortgage decision with your other opportunities.
How does SwitchWize choose related offers?
Related offers are matched by the calculator surface (mortgage) and ranked using SwitchWize data such as rate, fees, trust signals, product fit, and switching friction. Paid relationships do not change organic ranking order.
How fresh are the rates and offers shown?
Rate and offer data is reviewed on a recurring cadence and every offer module shows review context or links to the methodology and disclosure pages.
Where can I see the ranking methodology?
The SwitchWize methodology page explains how rate freshness, editorial review, affiliate disclosure, and category ranking factors work.
Can Money Map use this result?
Yes. Money Map is the broader diagnostic path: it compares savings, mortgage, cards, and debt so you can see whether this calculator result is your highest-impact next move.

Why This Matters

Current LTV is useful for equity planning, while federal conventional-PMI thresholds generally use original value and the scheduled amortization. Reaching a ratio does not by itself satisfy payment-history, lien, seasoning, appraisal, or servicer requirements.

How to Use It

  1. 1Enter current value for current LTV
  2. 2Enter original value for conventional-PMI thresholds
  3. 3Enter your current mortgage balance
  4. 4See your LTV, equity, and PMI cost
  5. 5Review the balance distance to 80% and 78%, then confirm eligibility with the servicer
