No Account Required

HomeCostClarity is designed to work without requiring an account, login, profile, or bank connection. The calculators help people estimate housing costs, compare rent-versus-buy scenarios, review home-buying assumptions, and think through ownership-related decisions using the information they choose to enter.

Calculator Inputs

Calculator inputs are generally processed in your browser unless a feature clearly says otherwise. Some features, such as AI analysis, email delivery, PDF/report generation, or location lookup, may send the information needed for that specific feature to a server. Do not enter sensitive personal, financial, legal, mortgage, real estate, or housing information that you do not want processed for that feature.

Local Storage and Preferences

This site may use local storage in your browser to remember settings such as display preferences, saved-on-this-device status, or your cookie choice. Local storage is stored on your device and can be cleared through your browser settings.

Cookies, Advertising, and Google AdSense

This site may use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functions, remembering consent choices, advertising, analytics, hosting, and embedded services. Essential storage may be used to keep the site working and remember your privacy choice.

This site may show ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings page.

Analytics, Hosting, and Technical Information

Advertising, analytics, hosting, security, and embedded service providers may collect standard technical information according to their own policies. This can include browser type, device information, approximate location based on IP address, pages visited, referral information, and basic diagnostic logs.

Email and Shared Results

If you choose to email or share a calculator result, the information needed to create and send that message may be processed for that request. Do not use those features to send private documents, account numbers, Social Security numbers, full loan applications, or other highly sensitive information.
