Equity Calculator
Overview
The Equity Calculator project focused on designing an interactive tool that helps users understand how much home equity they have and how that equity translates into real borrowing power through HELOC and related products. The experience was built to bridge the gap between abstract equity estimates and tangible financial options, giving users clarity on what they could access and how different borrowing scenarios would impact their offerings. By allowing users to dynamically adjust their desired loan amount, the tool created a responsive, exploratory experience that made complex financial decisions feel intuitive and personalized. This not only empowered users to make more informed decisions, but also positioned equity-based products as immediately relevant and attainable. The tool drove significant performance gains, achieving a 300% increase in click-through rate and a 75% lift in lead-to-application conversion.
