Housing scenario comparison

See how each housing decision shifts the financial picture

Sell home and split equity

Income − costs

A+$1,720/mo
B+$117/mo

Projected net worth

A $754K/B $494K

Person A keeps home

Income − costs

A+$1,720/mo
B+$117/mo

Projected net worth

A $754K/B $494K

Person B keeps home

Income − costs

A+$1,720/mo
B+$117/mo

Projected net worth

A $754K/B $494K

“Income − costs” is after-tax income minus housing, non-housing living costs, fixed costs, and any support payments.

What’s shaping these trajectories

  • Selling and splitting $330K in home equity gives both sides liquid starting capital.
  • A $30K/yr income difference creates moderate divergence in long-term outcomes.
