Compare the economics of buying a home versus renting over the number of years you expect to stay.

About the Rent vs. Buy Calculator

Buying costs the mortgage payments but builds equity (home value minus remaining loan balance); renting costs the rent itself with no asset at the end. This simplified comparison ignores taxes, insurance, maintenance and transaction fees, which generally favor renting more than shown.
