Assumptions and limits
- Cash Flow Index = HELOC Balance / Monthly Payment. Higher scores mean more efficient debt.
- Cost of Money compares your best available return rate to your HELOC interest rate.
- Spending categories are self-reported and may not reflect exact allocations.
- This tool does not account for tax deductibility of HELOC interest.
- For educational comparison only. Consult a financial advisor for a personalized HELOC strategy.
