About this calculator

The HECM (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage) is widely misunderstood, often dismissed before its real benefits are evaluated. Our reverse mortgage calculator provides a fact-based view of available proceeds, line-of-credit options, and how the loan balance evolves over time — giving advisors and clients the foundation for an honest conversation.

What it shows you

  • Maximum available proceeds based on age and home value
  • Lump sum, monthly payment, and line of credit options
  • Loan balance growth over time
  • Line-of-credit growth rate projection
  • Non-recourse protection and estate implications

Why it matters

Research from academic institutions consistently shows that a strategic HECM can improve retirement income sustainability — yet most retirees never consider it because they lack clear numbers. This calculator bridges that gap.
