How does the buy-or-rent calculator work?
On the one hand, you enter your previous monthly gross rent. On the other hand, enter the expected purchase price for the future house or condominium. Be sure to summarise the actual price of the property here, including any conversion and renovation costs. Then add the amount of the planned mortgage. In most cases, this is around 80% of the purchase price at the time of purchase. Our calculator will show you whether buying or renting is more favourable for you. On the other hand, we calculate your monthly savings potential for the cheaper versus the more expensive option.
