"Should I rent or buy a home?" As a First Time Home Buyer, it's often difficult to decide whether to rent or buy a home. It takes more than looking at your mortgage payment to answer this question. This rent vs buy calculator helps make the decision easier. It helps you sort through the fees, taxes and monthly mortgage payments to help you make a decision between rent or buy. Estimate the home property tax amount and the home insurance amount. The calculator report is based on the original purchase price, down payment, closing costs, and taxes payable at that time. Insurance and tax costs can fluctuate from year to year. Click the "View Report" button on the rent calculator below for a detailed look at the results. You may also email the rent vs buy calculator results by clicking on the three-line icon in the upper right hand corner of the mortgage calculator.
