$150,000 HELOC payment

Estimated monthly cost of a $150,000 home equity line of credit, during the draw period and in repayment.

What does a $150,000 HELOC cost each month? During the interest-only draw period the payment is just the interest on your balance; once repayment begins (here over 20 years) you also repay principal, so the payment is higher. The table shows both at a range of rates.

Interest rate	Interest-only (draw period)	Principal + interest (20-yr repay)
7%	$875	$1,163
8%	$1,000	$1,255
9%	$1,125	$1,350
10%	$1,250	$1,448

HELOC rates are variable, so treat these as snapshots. At 9%, a $150,000 balance runs about $1,125/month interest-only, rising to roughly $1,350/month once you're repaying principal.
