Analytical Proof & Invariants

Machine Precision
Governing Mathematical Formula:
Interest-Only Payment = (Balance · Annual Rate) / 12

Step-by-Step Mathematical Derivation

1
Interest-Only Cash Flow During Draw Period

During the draw period (typically years 1–10), the borrower pays strictly accrued interest: M_draw = B · (r / 12), where B is drawn balance and r is variable APR.

2
Payment Reset Upon Amortization Period

At month (draw_years × 12) + 1, the draw period closes and the loan resets into full principal amortization: M_repay = B · [i(1 + i)ᵐ] / [(1 + i)ᵐ - 1], where m = repay_years × 12.

3
Payment Shock Sensitivity

Payment shock is defined as ΔM_reset = M_repay - M_draw. Borrowers must anticipate this mandatory jump when the draw window concludes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes HELOC payments to increase? +
HELOC payments increase if variable index rates (e.g. Wall Street Journal Prime Rate) rise, or when the 10-year interest-only draw period ends and mandatory principal repayment begins.
Can I pay principal during the draw period? +
Yes! Paying voluntary principal during the draw period reduces your daily average balance, directly decreasing your monthly interest charges.
