    Estimates use annual rent minus running costs. Purchase fees, vacancy, and financing are not included. Typical Dubai gross yields range from 5–8% depending on area and asset type.

    How to use this calculator

    Use this calculator to stress-test a Dubai buy-to-let scenario before you commit. Enter the purchase price, expected annual rent, and running costs to see gross yield, net yield, and a simple payback estimate.

    Gross yield is useful for comparing areas quickly. Net yield is closer to what you keep after service charges and maintenance. Payback years assumes net yield stays constant — a simplification, but helpful for comparing two listings side by side.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is a good ROI for Dubai property?
    Many Dubai investors target 5–8% gross rental yield depending on area and asset type. Net yield is lower after service charges, maintenance, and vacancy. Off-plan buyers also factor capital appreciation at handover.
    How is net yield different from gross yield?
    Gross yield divides annual rent by purchase price. Net yield subtracts running costs such as service charges, maintenance, and management fees before dividing by price — giving a clearer picture of cash-on-cash return.
    Does this calculator include purchase fees?
    No. Dubai buyers should budget separately for the 4% DLD transfer fee, agency commission, registration, and optional mortgage costs. Use our mortgage calculator for financing estimates.
