When Buying Makes Sense

10+ year stay, strong property appreciation (6-8%), 20%+ down payment without depleting emergency funds, and EMI not drastically higher than rent.

When Renting Is Better

Short time horizon (<7 years), high investment discipline (10-12% returns), rent significantly lower than EMI, and property prices stagnant or overvalued.

Methodology

How This Calculator Works

EMI Calculation

We use the standard EMI formula: EMI = P × r × (1 + r)^n / ((1 + r)^n - 1)

Where:

  • P = Loan principal
  • r = Monthly interest rate
  • n = Loan tenure in months

Investment Growth

Renting scenario assumes you invest:

  1. The down payment amount
  2. The difference between EMI and rent each year

Both grow at your chosen investment return rate (default: 10% annually).

Assumptions

  • Rent increases annually (not monthly)
  • Property appreciates linearly
  • Investment returns compound annually
  • No transaction costs included (stamp duty, brokerage)
  • Maintenance costs not factored in
