Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions people make, but comparing it with renting often requires complicated spreadsheets or expensive software. We built this calculator to make that decision easier with a simple, transparent, and free tool anyone can use. Our focus throughout development was on keeping it accurate, intuitive, and accessible across all devices. We’d love your feedback and ideas for future features!

Does it account for things like opportunity cost on the down payment or tax deductions for mortgage interest, or is it more of a straight cost comparison?

Really like how it factors in appreciation alongside the basic costs, that part usually gets overlooked. Clean layout and quick results, would be helpful for anyone weighing both options seriously.

the way it factors in appreciation alongside the usual rent and mortgage numbers is a nice touch, most calculators skip that. Clean layout too, made it really easy to plug in my numbers on mobile.

Would love to see a side-by-side breakdown that factors in opportunity cost, like what you could earn by investing the difference between renting and buying costs. That would make the comparison way more realistic for people weighing both options seriously.
