1. What is a Home Equity Line of Credit?

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a revolving line of credit that allows homeowners to borrow against the equity in their home. TD Canada Trust offers HELOCs with flexible repayment options and competitive interest rates.

2. How Does the Payment Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard amortization formula:

\[ PMT = P \times \frac{r \times (1 + r)^n}{(1 + r)^n - 1} \]

Where:

\( PMT \) — Monthly payment (CAD/month)
\( P \) — Loan principal amount (CAD)
\( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
\( n \) — Total number of months (years × 12)

Explanation: This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to fully amortize a loan over its term, including both principal and interest components.

3. Importance of Payment Calculation

Details: Accurate payment calculation helps homeowners budget effectively, understand the true cost of borrowing, and make informed decisions about their home equity utilization.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in CAD, annual interest rate as a percentage (e.g., 5.25 for 5.25%), and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.
