Calculation Details

The LTV Ratio is calculated by dividing the loan amount by the appraised value of the asset.

LTV = Loan / Value × 100

For example, a **$200,000** loan on a **$250,000** house results in an **80% LTV**. If the house value drops to **$190,000**, your LTV becomes **105%**, meaning you are "underwater" on the loan.
