Rent vs Buy Calculator Canada

Compare two scenarios over the number of years you expect to stay.

How this estimate works

Buying builds equity but adds interest, maintenance, transaction costs and market risk. Renting can preserve money for investment and make moving easier.

Important assumptions

Results are scenario estimates, not a prediction. Change appreciation, investment return, ownership costs and time horizon to test conservative and optimistic cases.
