Cost of Waiting

Step 2 of 3
1

The Opportunity Cost of Delay

Money invested earlier has more time to compound. Waiting a few years doesn't just delay your start — it permanently removes the most powerful compounding years from the end of your timeline.

See what putting off investing really costs — not just the years lost, but the compounding you never get back.

Two Savings Targets

"Pay yourself first" means setting aside a fixed share of income before spending on anything else. Compare two rates side by side to see how much the difference is worth after decades of growth.

Compare two savings rates side by side — a small difference today compounds into a large gap later.

Your Value After 25 Years

Setting aside 10.00% of your income and investing it in a tax-deferred account (like an RRSP) grows to about $435,287 after 25 years.
At 5.00%, it grows to about $217,643 after 25 years — a difference of $217,643 between the two.
The gap between the two$217,643

Down Payment

Canada sets a legal minimum down payment based on price — this fills in automatically. Use a different amount only if you know what you can put down.

Closing Cost

One-time costs beyond your down payment, due at or before closing: land transfer tax, legal fees, and optionally inspection, appraisal, and moving costs. Home insurance is a recurring cost, so it's counted in Monthly Cost below instead.

If you rented, the down payment and closing costs you didn't spend get invested instead — this is what makes renting sometimes come out ahead on paper.

Fill in the numbers above to see how buying compares to renting and investing the difference.

This assumes a fixed mortgage rate for the full horizon, ignores capital gains tax on investments, and uses simplified annual (not monthly) compounding. Treat this as a directional comparison, not a forecast.
