Lifetime mortgage calculator

You're in safe hands with Key Equity Release

• No negative equity guarantee

How your figure is calculated

Our lifetime mortgage calculator uses two main factors to quickly work out how much tax-free cash you could release:

• Property value: A higher value property will result in a greater amount available to release, should you require it. The minimum property value to be eligible for equity release is £70,000
• Age of youngest applicant: If you are applying as a couple, the amount of equity you can release will be calculated based on the youngest applicant. Both applicants must be aged 55 or over to be eligible

Compare equity release plans

• After your initial calculation, where our calculator reveals how much you could release, you will be able to compare the plans and the different rates that may be available to you
• Learn about the different features that may be an option for you, such as inheritance protection, to help tailor your plan to meet your needs

What is a lifetime mortgage?

A lifetime mortgage plan is usually repaid when it comes to an end and your home is sold. This is when you or the last remaining applicant, either passes away or enters long-term care.

You can release tax free cash as a one off lump sum, or following an initial release in smaller amounts, which is known as a drawdown.  

The amount you can release is dependant on a number of factors, such as age, health and lifestyle, and the value of your property.
