Conditional

I was talking about calculating my expense to my mom. And I say:

I've been figuring out how I can continue my lifestyle after I graduate. That's if I don't have to pay for rent and continue to stay at home.

However, If I added rent to the equation, then it would be a new scenario. Or

However, if I add rent to the equation, then it will be a new scenario.

And

However, If I moved out then it would be a whole different scenario. Or

However, if I move out then it will be a whole different scenario.

Which one should I use? The first or the second? Please give me an explanation. Thank you.
