Getting a useful answer

A few things worth knowing before you read too much into any single number these calculators produce.

  • 01

    Include upfront costs

    A home purchase can involve stamp duty, registration, fees and repairs alongside the down payment.

  • 02

    Compare the same time period

    For rent versus buy, use a period that matches how long you expect to stay. Try different home-price and investment-return assumptions.

  • 03

    Check local charges

    Property taxes and transaction costs vary by place and transaction. Confirm them before relying on an estimate.
