Understand the ownership decision

Why use the Renovate vs Move Calculator?

Compare staying and renovating with selling, buying, moving, financing, and ownership differences over a common horizon. The calculator exists to make the relevant owner, project, or seller cash flows visible before comparing quotations, schedules, offers, or entered alternatives.

The calculation

Renovate path = project + financing + temporary living + current-home horizon costs; move path = selling + buying + moving + replacement-home horizon costs − released net proceeds.

Worked ownership scenario

A 120,000 renovation path can be compared with 25,000 selling costs, 15,000 purchase costs, 5,000 moving costs and entered ownership differences.

What the result does not decide

Property suitability, future values, taxes, financing approval and quality of life are not determined. The result does not verify property condition, contractor scope, realized savings, market value, legal obligations, tax treatment, or whether a transaction should proceed.

Quick guide

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter amounts from the same property scenario and use consistent periods and units.
  2. Use visitor-entered rates and allowances from your own documents rather than assuming a local rule.
  3. Review the component results and the calculator-specific decision boundary before acting.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Renovate path = project + financing + temporary living + current-home horizon costs; move path = selling + buying + moving + replacement-home horizon costs − released net proceeds.

Entered fixed decimals remain exact through rational arithmetic. Planar distance outputs that require square roots use bounded numerical evaluation. Values round only for display, and unsupported or undefined states return an explicit message.

Supported inputs

Precision and limits

International scope

No currency, market price, interest rate, tax, tenancy rule, planning code, lender policy, or measurement definition is supplied automatically.

Scenario, not a decision

Results are arithmetic scenarios from visitor-entered values—not an appraisal, loan approval, legal interpretation, planning determination, forecast, or professional recommendation.

Precision and privacy

Inputs accept bounded plain decimals and remain in this browser. The engine prevents invalid denominators and misleading non-finite results.

Calculator-specific boundary

Property suitability, future values, taxes, financing approval and quality of life are not determined.
