Buy or rent in Amsterdam-Oost?
Amsterdam-Oost · Amsterdam
Oost — Oosterpark, the Indische Buurt and Javastraat — offers a bit more space per euro than the canal ring while staying central. More floor area changes the €/m² but not the underlying maths, which the calculator keeps honest.
What the calculator counts
Most buy-vs-rent tools stop at the mortgage payment. This one counts every Dutch cost and tax on both sides — overdrachtsbelasting, notary, VVE, OZB, maintenance, mortgage interest relief (hypotheekrenteaftrek), the eigenwoningforfait and Box 3 wealth tax on the renter's invested deposit — then compares how much wealthier you are after your chosen number of years in Amsterdam-Oost.
Amsterdam-Oost note: parts of Amsterdam are on erfpacht (ground lease). If your canon isn't bought off, add the annual amount in the calculator — it's a real recurring cost that renting avoids.
