How much could I release from my home?

Enter your age and what your home is worth to see an indicative maximum release. The amount you can actually release depends mainly on the age of the youngest homeowner and the value of your property, not on how much of it you already own.

Equity release is normally available from age 55, on a property worth £70,000 or more.

Indicative maximum you could release

£77,000

Based on around 22% of your property value at age 68. Any outstanding mortgage must be repaid from the money you release.

This is an estimate, not a quote or advice. It uses typical published market figures, not a specific lender. The real amount, and whether equity release is right for you at all, can only be confirmed by a qualified adviser who looks at your full circumstances.

How the figure is worked out

Equity release lenders publish a maximum loan to value for each age. The older the youngest homeowner, the higher the percentage of the property value you can release. These are the typical maximum percentages used in this calculator.

Figures are indicative maximum release percentages anchored to published lender ranges (for example Legal & General and Aviva guidance), not a quote from any lender. Enhanced plans for those in poorer health can release more. The actual amount depends on your age, health, property and the plan chosen. Last reviewed June 2026.
