Rent vs buy calculator
Should you rent or buy? This calculator compares the net financial position of two paths over the time you plan to stay: buying with a mortgage and building equity, versus renting and investing your deposit plus any monthly saving.
Enter the home price, deposit, mortgage rate, expected home and rent growth, maintenance and your investment return, and see which option leaves you better off — and by how much. It is a simplified, directional guide and runs entirely in your browser.
