Loan basics
Credit limit
Also known as: HELOC limit, line limit, credit line
The maximum amount you can borrow on a HELOC, set by the lender.
A HELOC credit limit is the approved line amount. You may draw less than the full limit; available credit is limit minus outstanding draw. Educational calculators often estimate a potential limit from home value, existing mortgage balance, and a combined LTV guideline-actual limits depend on underwriting.
