A rent or own calculator based to the best of my abilities on Canadian data.
The calculations and results of this code are presented without any warranty. Don't make a huge financial decision based off some code you found on the internet. While I've done my best to make a good model, I've made a number of assumptions about the structure of the problem. On top of that, the model itself requires entering a number of assumptions. The model can only be said to be accurate if the calculations are correct, the structure of the problem is correct, and the assumptions that the user enters to specify their exact comparison are correct. I made this as a model to organize my thinking about the tradeoffs of renting vs owning a home, and have made efforts to make it accurate, but I can't offer any guarantees to its validity, and assume no responsibility for any financial decisions anyone might make in whole or in part due to its results. Hope that covers my ass.
