This calculator is a handy tool for homeowners weighing the true costs of an above ground versus an in ground pool. It breaks down the total cost of ownership over your planned time in the home, factoring in maintenance, insurance, and potential resale value boosts. You'll want to keep in mind that the math doesn't account for the opportunity cost of the large upfront investment required for an in ground pool, nor does it adjust for inflation over time. Still, it provides a clear, bottom-line comparison to help you decide which option fits your budget and lifestyle.
