You've learned about reverse mortgages—now discover exactly how much you may qualify for. Get your personalized estimate in seconds with our free calculator.

Calculate Your Eligibility

Your age determines the principal limit factor (PLF) for your reverse mortgage. Older homeowners typically qualify for higher loan amounts because the loan term is expected to be shorter.

Age must be between 62 and 99.

Your home's current market value is used to calculate how much you may borrow. The higher your home value, the more you may be eligible to receive (up to FHA lending limits).
