Loan-to-Value Ratio

Loan-to-value ratio is calculated by dividing the amount of a loan by the value of the property or other collateral securing it, then expressing the result as a percentage. supported

A larger down payment generally produces a lower LTV ratio because the amount financed is smaller relative to the property value. supported

Mortgage lenders may use LTV when deciding whether to lend, how much to lend, what interest rate to offer, and whether mortgage insurance may be required. supported

LTV is one of several credit factors considered in real-estate loan underwriting and does not by itself determine whether a loan is sound or will be approved. supported

Loan-to-value ratio (LTV) compares the amount financed with the value of the asset securing the loan and is usually expressed as a percentage. supported

For a mortgage, LTV is commonly calculated as the loan amount divided by the appraised value of the property, while auto lending commonly uses the loan amount divided by the vehicle’s actual cash value. supported

A larger down payment lowers LTV by reducing the amount that must be borrowed relative to the asset value. supported

Higher LTV generally represents greater lender risk and can affect approval, interest rate, mortgage-insurance requirements, or other loan terms. supported

An LTV above 100 percent means the borrower owes more than the current value used in the ratio, creating negative equity. supported

Rolling unpaid negative equity from a trade-in vehicle into a new auto loan can raise the new loan amount and produce an LTV above 100 percent. supported

Conventional homebuyers making a down payment below 20 percent often must pay private mortgage insurance, which protects the lender rather than the borrower. supported
