Intro
Use this loan-to-value calculator to estimate mortgage LTV from a property value and either a deposit, loan amount, or target LTV. It also shows the implied loan amount, deposit amount, and deposit percentage.
What this calculator does
The calculator works out:
- Loan-to-value as a percentage.
- Mortgage loan amount.
- Deposit or equity amount.
- Deposit percentage.
- A plain-English note about the LTV range.
Use it when checking a purchase deposit, remortgage balance, or target mortgage tier.
How it works
Loan-to-value is the mortgage loan divided by the property value:
LTV = loan amount / property value x 100
If you enter the deposit, the calculator subtracts the deposit from the property value to estimate the loan. If you enter the loan amount, it subtracts the loan from the property value to estimate the deposit. If you enter a target LTV, it multiplies the property value by that percentage.
Example calculation
For a 300,000 property with a 60,000 deposit:
- Loan amount = 300,000 - 60,000 = 240,000.
- LTV = 240,000 / 300,000 x 100 = 80%.
- Deposit share = 60,000 / 300,000 x 100 = 20%.
The result is an 80% LTV mortgage estimate.
How to use the result
Use the result to understand how much equity or deposit you have compared with the property value. Mortgage lenders often use LTV bands when pricing products, but LTV is only one part of a mortgage decision.
Compare this with the Mortgage Calculator to estimate monthly repayments and the Stamp Duty Calculator to budget property tax.
Assumptions and limitations
- Property value is treated as the current value or agreed purchase price.
- The calculator does not estimate affordability, credit checks, product fees, income multiples, or lender criteria.
- It does not account for negative equity or borrowing above the property value.
- Remortgage values should be based on a realistic current valuation.
FAQs
- Can I use this for remortgaging? Yes. Enter the current property value and mortgage balance as the loan amount.
- Is a lower LTV always better? Lower LTV usually means more equity, but the best mortgage still depends on rate, fees, term, eligibility, and affordability.
- Does this include stamp duty or fees? No. It only compares loan, deposit, and property value.

Frequently asked questions
What does LTV mean?
LTV is loan-to-value: the mortgage loan divided by the property value, shown as a percentage.
Is lower LTV always better?
A lower LTV usually means more equity and may improve product choice, but lenders also assess income, credit history, affordability, and the property.
Can I use this for remortgaging?
Yes. Use the current property value and the mortgage balance as the loan amount to estimate remortgage LTV.
