Three-Way Savings Comparison
See your monthly and annual costs for house hacking, traditional homeownership, and renting side by side.
How the Savings Comparison Works
The comparison engine calculates full PITI (principal, interest, taxes, insurance) plus HOA, utilities, and maintenance for both the house hack and traditional home. It subtracts rental income from tenanted units in the house hack, then compares the net cost against renting.
- Full cost breakdown: mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, utilities, HOA
- Rental income offset reduces your effective housing cost
- Renting scenario includes annual rent increases for realistic long-term comparison
- Stacked bar charts show exactly where every dollar goes
Why Visualization Matters
Spreadsheets hide the dramatic impact of house hacking. When you see a stacked bar chart showing your $2,200/mo traditional cost next to your $50/mo house hack cost, the decision becomes obvious.
- Numbers alone don't convey the magnitude of savings
- Charts make it easy to explain the strategy to partners and lenders
- Interactive adjustments let you test different assumptions instantly
