Estimated Monthly Repayment Period Payment

How does a HELOC payment structure work?

During the draw period, which usually lasts five to ten years, you can borrow money as needed and make monthly payments on only the amount you use. Required Monthly Draw Period Payments will be a minimum payment equal to 1% of the loan amount or $100, whichever is greater. After the draw period ends, the line-of-credit closes, the Repayment Period begins, and you have up to 10 years to repay the remaining loan balance. Monthly payments will be amortized over the remaining term and subject to the interest rate in effect.
