Gross yield = annual rent divided by purchase price. Net yield will be lower after service charges, maintenance, and vacancy. Marina and JVC often sit in the 5–7% range; premium areas may be lower.

How to use this calculator

Rental yield is one of the first numbers investors check when comparing Dubai communities. Enter the purchase price and expected annual rent to see gross yield and implied monthly income.

Remember that net yield will be lower once you deduct service charges, maintenance, and vacancy. Premium areas may show lower yields but stronger resale demand; mid-market communities often deliver higher cash yields.

Browse off-plan projects to model expected rental income after handover in your target area.

Frequently asked questions

What is the average rental yield in Dubai?
Gross yields typically range from 5–8% depending on community. JVC and Dubai Silicon Oasis often sit at the higher end; Marina and Downtown may be lower but offer stronger capital appreciation.
Is gross yield the same as ROI?
Gross yield measures rental income against purchase price before costs. ROI can include appreciation, financing, and expenses. Use our ROI calculator for a fuller picture including running costs.
Should I use yearly or monthly rent?
This calculator uses annual rent, which is standard for yield comparisons in Dubai. Divide your expected monthly rent by 12 if you only have monthly figures.
