Lifetime mortgage calculator

See how much you could release from your home with our simple lifetime mortgage calculator

Our lifetime mortgage calculator

Our calculator will help you see how much value you can release from your home with one of our Lifetime Mortgages. Like any mortgage, it’s a loan you take out against your home. We’ll:

  • ask you for a few simple details
  • calculate how much you can get
  • follow up with a call to answer any questions.

You can only buy a lifetime mortgage through a financial adviser. Our calculator is a guide - we can’t give you advice or make personal recommendations about which one’s best for you. Your financial adviser will be able to help with that.

Equity release calculator

This calculator helps you see how much equity you could release with a lifetime mortgage, a loan secured against your home. We’ll ask you to register your details so we can show you the calculation. You may also receive a call from us to assist you with your enquiry.

Before you start

  • If you want a joint lifetime mortgage, use the age of the youngest applicant.
  • The amount you can borrow is based on your age and the value of your home, but this might be less when you come to apply.

Is the loan secured against my home? Yes
When do I have to repay the full amount of the loan? The loan is usually repaid when you die or move out of the home and go into long-term care.
How is interest charged on the loan? Interest is charged on the loan amount plus any interest already added, so the amount owed will increase quickly over time unless you pay off some or all of the interest. You may have cheaper ways to borrow money.
Do I have to pay interest every month? No - but you can choose to make partial repayments if you want to manage the amount owed on the loan and interest. No - but you can pay some or all of the monthly interest to reduce the overall cost of the loan, and you can stop making payments at any time. If you choose to stop payments, you can't restart them. Yes, you must pay the full interest amount each month for a chosen payment term. This will reduce the overall cost of the loan and may mean that you are able to borrow more than with other lifetime mortgages.
Will I still own my home? Yes, the property stays in your name and the loan is secured against your home. Yes, the property stays in your name and the loan is secured against your home. However, as a last resort, your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up with payments.
Can I end up owing more than the home is worth? No. With our No Negative Equity Guarantee, as long as you follow the terms and conditions of the loan, you'll never owe more than the home is worth. The No Negative Equity Guarantee will not apply to any missed monthly interest payments and the interest on them. If the sale of your property doesn’t cover these, we’ll ask your beneficiaries to settle the balance.
Is the interest rate fixed? Yes. The interest rate is fixed for the life of the loan.
