Renting vs Buying a Home Calculator (Equity and Net Wealth)

Adjust the slider and values below to compare renting vs buying a home. You can vary the down payment, insurance, taxes, loan term, and interest rates. You can even include extra payments and the elimination of private mortgage insurance once your loan-to-value ratio exceeds 20%. Included is a real-time chart that shows you the break-even point (if any) where buying becomes better for your net worth than renting.
