Most Housing Calculators Miss Half the Picture

Traditional affordability tools only show monthly payments - but that's not the whole story

Hidden Opportunity Costs

Your downpayment and extra mortgage payments could be invested in the stock market instead, earning you more money in the long run

Interest vs Principal Confusion

Not all mortgage payments are equal - interest is lost forever while payments towards the principal builds equity

Incomplete Analysis

Basic calculators ignore maintenance, taxes, insurance, and don't provide true affordability metrics

TruCost Shows You the Complete Financial Picture
