Rent vs Buy Calculator

%
A rent vs buy calculator compares the total cost of renting a home against buying one over a given time horizon. It accounts for mortgage payments, opportunity cost of the down payment, maintenance, taxes, and rental increases.
💡
Tip: The most important variable is how long you plan to stay. The transaction costs of buying (stamp duty, legal fees, agent fees) typically take 3–5 years just to break even.
