ReverseMortgageGuide started with a narrow question: how much could a specific home, at a specific age, actually draw from a HECM? The four tools here answer that question and the three that tend to follow it, how the balance grows over time, what your equity looks like right now, and how a reverse mortgage compares to a HELOC.
None of the calculators ask for a name, phone number, or email address. Use them as many times as you want and nothing is saved. That is a deliberate choice. A lot of reverse mortgage sites trade a free estimate for your contact details, and the calls start before you have decided anything.
The state-by-state pages and the 2026 HECM lending limit reference exist for the same reason, to put HUD's own published figures in front of you without a pitch attached. The Editorial Standards page explains where those numbers come from and how often we check them.
ReverseMortgageGuide is not a lender, and nothing published here is a loan offer or financial advice. Every HECM requires a session with a HUD-approved counselor before closing, and that conversation is where your own numbers get confirmed, not this website.
