What is the Rent vs Buy Calculator?
Buying a home builds ownership, but it ties up a big down payment and adds interest, taxes and maintenance. Renting is flexible and lets you invest the money instead. This calculator compares your net wealth after a chosen number of years in both scenarios – taking into account rent increases, home price growth, mortgage interest and what your down payment could earn if invested.
How to use the Rent vs Buy Calculator
- Enter the home price, down payment, loan rate and tenure.
- Enter the current monthly rent and yearly rent increase.
- Set expected property growth and investment return.
- Choose how many years you plan to stay.
Things the numbers can’t capture
Stability, freedom to renovate, the stress of moving and job flexibility also matter. Use the result as one input to your decision.
