$50,000 HELOC payment

Estimated monthly cost of a $50,000 home equity line of credit, during the draw period and in repayment.

What does a $50,000 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%	$292	$388
8%	$333	$418
9%	$375	$450
10%	$417	$483

HELOC rates are variable, so treat these as snapshots. At 9%, a $50,000 balance runs about $375/month interest-only, rising to roughly $450/month once you're repaying principal.
