What is 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.

Calkulon makes complex calculations simple — built for students and everyday problem-solvers.

How to Rent vs Buy Calculator

▾
  1. 1Cost to buy: mortgage payments + maintenance (1–2% of value/year) + property taxes + insurance − equity built + opportunity cost of down payment
  2. 2Cost to rent: rent + renters insurance + investing the down payment at market returns
  3. 3The "break-even point" is when the cumulative cost of buying drops below renting

Worked Examples

▾
Example 1
Given:£300k house · £60k deposit · 5% mortgage · vs £1,200/month rent
Výsledok:Break-even at approx year 7

Highly dependent on house price growth and investment returns

💡

Pro 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.
