How this Rent vs Buy Calculator works

This comprehensive tool compares the total sunk costs of renting (rent, insurance) vs buying (interest, taxes, maintenance, closing costs) over a specific time period.

Why this matters for your wealth

Buying isn't always the winner. In high-cost markets or for short timeframes, renting can actually build more wealth if the difference is invested.
