Buy vs Rent Calculator

Comparing true housing costs and wealth accumulation over your loan term

📊 How This Works

This calculator compares buying vs renting over your chosen loan term. For renting, you specify how much you'll invest weekly (e.g., the savings from cheaper rent) and what return you expect. This lets you explore different "what if" scenarios.
