Formula & How It Works

Formula

Buy Net Wealth = Future Property Value − Outstanding Loan − Down Payment; Rent Net Wealth = DP × (1+i)^n − Total Rent Paid

Buying builds equity through EMI payments and property appreciation. Renting keeps the down payment liquid for investment. The calculator compares net wealth at the end of the tenure period.

The model accounts for compounding rent increases, property appreciation at the given CAGR, and the opportunity cost of the down payment invested at the investment return rate.
