Sobre esta herramienta

Enter the home price, down payment percent, mortgage rate, current rent, years you will stay, price growth and property tax rate. The calculator compares net ownership cost (interest, tax, upkeep, selling and buying costs, minus price gain) with the rent you would pay.

What it compares

Ownership costs include mortgage interest, property tax, upkeep of 1 percent a year, closing costs and 6 percent selling costs, offset by any rise in home value. Renting costs the rent, rising 3 percent a year. Principal repaid is not a cost because it builds equity you get back.

Example

For a $400,000 home with 20 percent down at 6.5 percent against $2,200 rent over seven years, the result depends strongly on price growth, which is why the tool lets you change it.

Tips

The longer you stay, the better buying tends to look because the one-off costs spread out. Include the return you could earn by investing the down payment as a comparison.

Ejemplo práctico

With the boxes at their starting values (Home price: 400000; Down payment (%): 20; Mortgage rate (%): 6.5; Monthly rent now: 2200; Years you will stay: 7; Home price growth per year (%): 3), the tool shows: Net cost of owning: 150,399; Total rent paid: 202,289; Equity you would hold after selling costs: 173,101; Buying is cheaper by: 51,890. Change any box to see your own numbers. The result updates as you type, and nothing leaves your browser.

Consejos para mejores resultados

Revisa cada campo antes de fiarte de un resultado, porque un dígito equivocado cambia toda la respuesta. Usa las cifras exactas de tu nómina, factura, certificado o contrato y anota la fecha en que calculaste. Las tarifas, umbrales y normas cambian de vez en cuando, así que en impuestos, tasas y asuntos legales trata el resultado como una estimación y confírmalo con la fuente oficial indicada en esta página. Puedes probar todos los escenarios que quieras; no se guarda ni se envía nada, y al recargar la página se vacían los campos.
