Comparing renting with buying a home? The Rent vs Buy Calculator is with the decision tools.
They work out what a loan or a home purchase costs from the numbers you enter, such as the monthly payment, the total interest or the break-even point, and show how the result changes when you change the rate, the term or the down payment. Some tools compare two options, such as loan terms.
Start with what you are trying to decide. Each tool on this page is built for one kind of loan or decision, and its one-line description says which.
No. They use the rate and terms you enter and do not connect to a lender. A lender's own estimate can differ from a result here because of fees or taxes, so the lender's figures are the ones that apply to an actual offer.
No. They show the arithmetic for the numbers you enter. They do not check credit, income or eligibility, and they cannot say what rate you would be offered.
Yes. Each calculator page has a section on how the result is calculated, and a link that reopens the page with the inputs behind the example result, so you can reproduce it by hand or in the tool.
No. These are educational calculators, not financial advice or a recommendation.
