How It Works

This calculator compares the total costs of renting versus buying a home in Canada over a specified period. It takes into account the following factors:

Monthly Rent: The cost of renting a property.
Home Purchase Price: The price of the home you plan to buy.
Down Payment: The initial payment made when purchasing the home.
Mortgage Interest Rate: The annual interest rate on your mortgage.
Mortgage Term: The number of years over which the mortgage is repaid.
Property Tax: The annual property tax on the home.
Maintenance Costs: The annual cost of maintaining the home.
Property Value Growth Rate: The annual rate at which the property value is expected to grow.

The calculator computes the total costs of renting and buying, including mortgage payments, property taxes, maintenance costs, and opportunity costs. It then compares the two options to help you make an informed decision.
