What's the difference between a LVR & equity goal?

Learn the difference between LVR and Equity Goals in Money Tank, and discover how each helps you track your property’s financial position using percentage or dollar-based progress.

Updated over 4 weeks ago

LVR Goals and Equity Goals both track your property’s financial position, but they focus on different angles of the same data.

LVR Goal (Loan-to-Value Ratio)

An LVR Goal tracks the percentage of your loan compared to your property’s market value.

  • Lower LVR = more equity and less risk

  • Commonly used for refinancing targets or meeting lender thresholds

  • Example: Reducing your LVR from 78% to 70%

Equity Goal

An Equity Goal tracks the dollar amount of equity you want to reach.

  • Useful for planning renovations, future investments, or wealth-building milestones

  • Example: Growing your equity from $250,000 to $300,000

Same Data, Different View

Both goal types update from the same metrics: loan balance movements and market value changes.
The difference is simply how you want to measure your progress — as a percentage (LVR) or as a dollar amount (equity).
