Does renting or buying a home make more sense? Check out what is best for you by using our Rent vs Buy Calculator...

This calculator is made available to you as an educational tool only and calculations are based on borrower-input information. This is not an advertisement for the above terms, interest rates, or payment amounts. This is not an advertisement to extend credit as defined by Regulation Z nor an application for credit as defined by RESPA/Regulation X.

The information is meant for educational purposes only, the approximate origination charges, and total approximate funds needed to close is just an illustration and may not be accurate to your personal loan scenario. Actual fees and costs and payments may vary. As a result of refinancing, your total finance charges may be higher over the life of the loan. This is not a commitment to lend. Not all borrowers will meet the requirements necessary to qualify. Rates and terms are subject to change based on market conditions and borrower eligibility. Monthly Payment does not include taxes and insurance. Your payment obligation will be higher. APR is not shown – see our website for assumptions and loan terms. Certain limitations apply, call for details.

Your actual rate, payment, and costs could be higher. Get an official Loan Estimate before choosing a loan.

Results received from this calculator are designed for comparative purposes only, and accuracy is not guaranteed. We do not guarantee the accuracy of any information or inputs by users of the software.

Homeownership involves financial obligations that differ from renting. In addition to monthly principal and interest payments, homeowners are responsible for property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, maintenance, and repairs, which renters typically do not pay. Renters may also have flexibility and lower upfront costs.

Whether buying or renting is right for you depends on your financial situation, long-term plans, and housing market conditions.

How We Calculate the Costs

Calculating the Cost of Renting The cost of renting is relatively straightforward to calculate. It primarily includes your monthly rent payments and a few additional expenses:
  • Monthly rent payments
  • Security deposit (typically equal to one month's rent)
  • Renters insurance (annual premium)
Calculating the Cost of Buying The cost of buying a home is more complex and includes both one-time and ongoing expenses: One-time Costs:
  • Down payment
  • Closing costs (typically 2-5% of the home's value)
Ongoing Costs:
  • Monthly mortgage payments (principal and interest)
  • Property taxes
  • Homeowners insurance
  • Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) if applicable
  • HOA fees (if applicable)
  • Maintenance and repairs
  • Home improvements and renovations
Assumptions Our calculator makes several assumptions to provide a comprehensive comparison:
  • Annual home appreciation rate: %
  • Annual rent increase: %
  • Renters insurance: $ per year
  • Home maintenance and repairs: % of home value per year
  • Home improvements and renovations: % of home value per year
  • Selling costs when you sell the home: % of home value
These values can be adjusted in the advanced settings to better reflect your specific situation. The calculator takes all these factors into account over the specified time period to determine whether renting or buying is more cost-effective in your situation. Keep in mind that this is a simplified model and your actual costs may vary based on your specific circumstances and local market conditions.
