$\text{P} = \left( \frac{\text{E}}{\text{V}} \right) \times 100$

Where:

$\text{P}$ is the home equity percentage
$\text{E}$ is the home equity in dollars
$\text{V}$ is the home value in dollars

What is Home Equity Percentage?

Home equity percentage is a measure of the portion of your home that you truly own. It is calculated by dividing the amount of equity you have in your home by the current market value of the home, and then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. This percentage can be an important factor when considering refinancing, selling your home, or taking out a home equity loan.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Home Equity (E) = $100,000
Home Value (V) = $400,000

Using the formula:

$\text{P} = \left( \frac{100,000}{400,000} \right) \times 100 = 25$

The Home Equity Percentage (P) is 25%.
