Built by rent vs buy .city

Show the verdict on your site

Paste this in the spot where you want the calculator. The calculator displays the same three steps, using each city's defaults, while the visitor remains on your page.

You can use it for free. The small credit link within the frame remains unchanged.

How the rent vs buy widget works

Three steps match those in our own calculator: a city, your numbers and the assumptions. After that, a stamp appears together with the break-even year. Your visitors never leave your page, and nobody tracks them for anyone else.

Who uses this

  • Local news sites covering rent and home prices.
  • Housing counselors and credit unions that want an answer with no bias.
  • Bloggers who've had enough of the claim that renting wastes your money

As our numbers change, the widget's numbers update too, so it never goes stale.
