⁽¹⁾  Debt principal payments are estimated amounts based on maturity dates and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, if any. Interest payments are estimated based on the forward-looking LIBOR curve and include the estimated impact of the ten interest rate swap agreements (see Note 6). Actual payments may differ from these estimates.

Current Portion of Long-Term Debt

The current portion of long-term debt as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 includes the principal payments on the term loans, other unsecured borrowings, and special improvement district bonds that are expected to be paid within 12 months.

Borrowings under the revolving credit facilities are each subject to the provisions of the applicable credit facility agreements, which each have a contractual maturity of greater than one year. Amounts borrowed, if any, under the revolving credit facilities are intended to satisfy short-term liquidity needs and would be classified as current. As of June 30, 2019, $77 million of our revolving credit facilities were committed to outstanding letters of credit.

Fair Value

The fair value of debt has been calculated primarily based on the borrowing rates available as of June 30, 2019 based on market quotes of our publicly traded debt. We classify the fair value of debt within Level 1 and Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
