How this calculation works
Equal-budget treatment
The renter starts with the buyer’s down payment and purchase costs, then invests any monthly ownership-cost saving.
Rent position
The result is the future value of invested cash after rent and editable rent growth.
Buy position
Exit equity is the assumed sale value less sale costs and the remaining mortgage. Appreciation is not guaranteed.
