How this works
EMI is calculated using the standard formula: EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n - 1) where P is loan amount, r is monthly interest rate, and n is number of months. The buy vs rent comparison shows total cash outflow for both options, and estimates property value using compound appreciation. Note: This doesn't include registration fees, stamp duty, maintenance, or tax benefits — consult a financial advisor for complete analysis.
Frequently asked questions
- What does this EMI vs rent calculator actually compare?
- The total cost of buying — down payment plus every EMI you'll pay — netted against the property's appreciated value, versus the total rent you'd pay over the same number of years.
- How is the EMI itself calculated?
- The standard reducing-balance formula from your loan amount (price minus down payment), interest rate, and loan tenure — the same math banks use.
- Does it account for property appreciation and down payment?
- Yes, both are adjustable. Property value compounds annually at your chosen appreciation rate, and a higher down payment lowers your loan amount and total interest paid.
- Is this EMI vs rent calculator free, and do I need to sign up?
- It's completely free with no signup. If you're buying or renting together with roommates or family, Niptao (also free) can track and settle the shared EMI or rent payments via UPI.
