How it is calculated

Cost of buying: interest paid and what the down payment would have earned on deposit; the flat's price growth is subtracted. Principal repaid becomes your equity, not a cost, so it is left out.

Cost of renting: rent paid over the horizon, with annual rent growth.

Result: which option is cheaper in the year you chose, by how much, and from which year buying overtakes renting. Price growth and the deposit rate default to 0: we do not forecast, you enter your own expectation.

Questions

Opened from a listing or an analysis, our rent model estimates that flat's monthly rent. You can type your own figure as well.
Principal you repay turns into your share of the flat. Only what does not come back is a cost: interest and the deposit income the down payment gives up.
The default is 0. The Trends page shows how a district moved over the last year; past growth is no guarantee.
Yes, the rate and term are the basis of the calculation. Enter the 4% preferential or 8% ordinary state mortgage rate, or your bank's.
