RentorBuy — Rent vs Buy Calculator
Find the exact year buying beats renting
Should you keep renting or buy a home? The Rent vs Buy Calculator helps you compare the long-term financial impact of renting versus buying by bringing key costs into one easy-to-use spreadsheet. 🏠 Your exact Break-Even Year — calculated, not estimated 💰 Monthly cost comparison — buy vs rent, side by side, live 📊 Net worth comparison — your position at whatever timeline you actually plan to stay 📈 Real investment opportunity cost — what your down payment would earn elsewhere
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built this after watching a friend agonise over a home purchase for months, torn between "you should always buy" and a nagging feeling the math might not favour it for their situation. Nobody had ever shown them the actual calculation.
The thing most rent-vs-buy conversations miss: your down payment doesn't disappear if you rent — it goes somewhere, and if invested, it grows. That's a real, calculable cost of buying that almost never gets mentioned.
This tool runs the full month-by-month simulation and gives you your exact break-even year based on your actual numbers — not a rule of thumb.
Would love feedback, especially from anyone who's run their own rent-vs-buy numbers before and knows what's missing here.
Thanks for checking it out 🙏
