How it works

A clear workflow

Compare scenarios over the same horizon. Return and inflation figures are assumptions, not guarantees.

Practical example

Example: compare cash purchase with financing, down payment, balloon, resale value and assumed opportunity return.

Limits & transparency

Realistic expectations

This is not investment, tax or financial advice. Taxes, maintenance and contract details need separate review for a decision.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why count retained cash?
