About RentVsBuyIndia.com

Our Mission

RentVsBuyIndia.com was created to empower individuals with the tools they need to make informed housing decisions. We believe that everyone should have access to clear, unbiased information when facing the important choice between renting and buying a home.

These calculators were developed with these core principles:

  • Transparency in all calculations and assumptions
  • Accessibility for users of all financial backgrounds
  • Independence from any commercial real estate interests

Our goal is to provide a suite of self-service tools that help you analyze your unique situation, considering factors like property appreciation, rental inflation, loan terms, EMIs, and investment returns. While these calculators offer valuable insights, we encourage users to conduct their own research and consult with financial advisors for personalised advice.

Our Commitment

RentVsBuyIndia.com is committed to continuous improvement through community feedback and evolving financial best practices. We strive to maintain and enhance our calculators to better serve the Indian market's unique characteristics.

Our priorities include:

  • Keeping calculations relevant to the Indian real estate context
  • Maintaining transparency in our methodology
  • Incorporating user feedback to improve functionality
  • Ensuring accessibility and ease of use for all

We welcome suggestions and feedback from our users as we continue to refine and improve this tool. Your input helps us better serve the community and provide more valuable insights for everyone facing this important financial decision.
