LTV = L / L+D * 100%

- Determine the original loan amount
This will be the original purchase price of the item you wish to buy. For example, if a house costs 500,000 dollars the loan amount would also need to be $500,000.00.
- Determine your desired down payment
This will be the amount of money you wish to put “down” on the loan. In essence, this amount will get subtracted from the loan. For mortgages, a minimum of 10% is recommended.

FAQ
LTV stands for loan to value. It is a ratio of the amount of a loan to the actual price of a good. For example, if a house costs 5$ and a down payment of 1$ is made, the LTV would be 80%.
That depends on what is being purchased. The lower the LTV the less the loan is compared to the purchase price. This will lead to less interest paid over time.
