Frequently Asked Questions

How does the rent vs buy calculator decide which is better?

It compares total cost of ownership (mortgage, taxes, maintenance, opportunity cost) to renting (rent, rent growth) over your timeline and shows the break-even year.

Can I model rent increases over time?

Yes. Set an annual rent inflation rate and the calculator projects rent increases against fixed mortgage payments to show the long-run picture.

Can I embed the Rent Vs Buy calculator on my contractor website?

Yes. After you sign up, TradeCalcs gives you a copy-paste embed snippet that drops the Rent Vs Buy calculator into any site (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, GoHighLevel, custom HTML). Lead capture is optional and built in.

How accurate is this calculator?

It's a planning-grade rough range — typically within 15–25% of a contractor bid for a similar scope in San Diego. For a firm number you'll still want a site visit and a real proposal.
