USE THIS PROFILE TO

Compare housing affordability, financing or ownership-cost scenarios on a consistent scale and horizon.

DECISION RULE

Use the difference between option A and option B; keep the scale and horizon identical for both. Use household totals and include irregular shared costs rather than only one person's spending. Account for weekday/weekend variation and incomplete weeks.

NOT INCLUDED

Lender underwriting, local taxes, legal fees, insurance terms, maintenance shocks and future property values are not inferred.

VERIFY BEFORE ACTING

Reconcile the result with a lender quote, contract terms and a local closing-cost estimate.
