How the model works
Method
Each scenario is simulated month by month: capital compounds, rent and construction costs inflate, purchases carry transaction and maintenance costs, and mortgages use a real amortization schedule. Nominal and inflation-adjusted values are shown side by side.
Sources
Country presets start from published figures (Eurostat, ECB, BIS, World Bank). Where a live figure is used it carries a source stamp with its period. Every value stays editable — the model uses your assumptions, not ours.
What the model does not account for
Personal tax situations, local legal fees, market shocks, vacancy beyond your input, currency moves, and the value of living where you want. Results are illustrative, not a forecast.
Three more scenarios stay closed on Free

Free models own home (A) and deposit (B) in full. Long-let, flip and short-let stay as em-dashes until Pro.

Is this financial advice?
No. It is an educational what-if calculator. It shows what follows from the assumptions you enter and never ranks or recommends anything.
What if I cancel?
The trial lasts 7 days and charges nothing if you cancel before it ends. Paid months are covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

How it is modelled
Every month of the horizon is recomputed from your own assumptions: price growth, rent and CPI inflation, costs, taxes and interest. Nothing is filled in for you.
Not financial advice
This is an educational what-if model. All numbers are computed from your assumptions and are not a forecast or investment, financial, tax or legal advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Consult a licensed adviser before making decisions.

  • Stronger compound growth rate under your assumptions.
  • Property appreciation (6% / yr) offsets ownership costs.
  • The alternative ends below the starting capital in this model.
Break-even point
Year 1 — leading scenario overtakes the alternative.
Main risk
This result is most sensitive to property appreciation (±10% shifts the modeled outcome by ~3.064 €).

Sensitivity analysis

Pro
Your result depends on assumptions. Pro shows whether the modeled result survives if inflation, rent growth, appreciation or deposit rates are wrong by ±2%. Example: base case may show rental property with a higher modeled result — but if appreciation is lower and maintenance higher, the picture can change. Stress-test before you act.
Unlock scenario stress testing
Compare conservative, base and optimistic cases for every scenario to test how stable your model is.
Educational sensitivity probe based on your own inputs. Not a forecast and not a recommendation.

Transparent by design

  • Your inputs drive every result
  • No hidden recommendations
  • No market predictions
  • Assumptions are editable
  • Outputs are arithmetic projections, not advice
