Detailed Calculation Breakdown

Draw Period Monthly Payment = (HELOC Balance * (Variable APR% / 100)) / 12. Repayment Period Monthly Payment = P * [r(1+r)^240] / [(1+r)^240 - 1].
Important Legal & Educational Disclaimer
HELOCs have variable interest rates tied to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate. Payment shock occurs when transitioning from interest-only draw to principal repayment.
