How this works: “Net cost” is everything you'd pay over the time frame minus what you'd have at the end — for buying, your home equity after selling costs; for renting, the investment growth on the cash you didn't tie up in a down payment. Lower is better; a negative number means you come out ahead. Estimate only, not financial advice.
