Rent vs Buy Calculator

Rent vs Buy Calculator

Compare monthly rent against the mortgage plus ownership extras like taxes, insurance, and upkeep.

Method and assumptions

Figur applies standard payment, interest, or projection formulas to the values you enter. The calculation runs entirely in your browser.

• Rates and contributions stay constant for the period unless the calculator says otherwise.
• Taxes, insurance, fees, penalties, and lender-specific terms are excluded unless a field explicitly includes them.
• Results are rounded estimates; a financial institution may use different rounding rules or payment dates.

This tool is for general information, not financial, tax, legal, or investment advice. Confirm important figures with the relevant institution or a qualified professional.
