Assumptions and formula

Rent total = Monthly rent × Years × 12. Buy paid in period = (Monthly mortgage payment × months in period) + Down payment, using the same mortgage formula as the Loan Calculator. No house-price change, maintenance, tax, or fee is included.

Important: This is an estimate for planning only. It is not personal financial, medical, or investment advice. Check your own figures, and for infants or medical needs, check with a doctor.
