Rent vs Buy Calculator

Should you rent or buy? Home ownership is a great way to build long-term wealth, and the interest portion of your mortgage payment may be tax deductible. However, renting may make more sense over shorter periods—and a larger standard tax deduction recently may make renting more attractive than it once was. This calculator helps you compare the total cost of renting versus buying a home over time, so you can make an informed decision that fits your situation.

Buying a Home

Enter the home price, down payment, and mortgage details.

These are example values. Update them to reflect your personal situation.
