Terms of Use

Last updated: 4 July 2026

By using crunchcost.com (the "site"), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

What the site is

crunchcost is an informational decision tool. It estimates the total cost of buying versus renting a depreciating asset over a holding period. It is not a lender, insurer, broker, dealer, or rental provider, and it does not sell or arrange any of those products.

Estimates, not advice

All figures are estimates for decision support, not financial, tax, or legal advice. Depreciation curves may be model-based estimates rather than fitted from live market data, and are labeled accordingly. Real prices, insurance premiums, loan terms, and rental rates vary; always confirm actual quotes with the relevant providers before making a decision. You are solely responsible for decisions you make.

No warranty

The site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted availability. We do not warrant that any figure is correct or current.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, crunchcost and its operators are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site or its figures, including financial loss from a purchase, sale, rental, or financing decision.

Acceptable use

Don't misuse the site: no attempts to disrupt or overload it, no scraping or bulk extraction of data without permission, and no use that breaks applicable law.

Intellectual property

The site's content, design, and the depreciation curves we publish are ours or our licensors'. You may share links and individual results; you may not republish the dataset or pass the tool off as your own.

Changes

We may update the site and these terms over time. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms. Material changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date above.
