02 / Signature tool
Property ROI calculator
Change any figure and every result updates instantly. The mortgage is amortised on a standard repayment basis, and the chart projects equity across your holding period.
Your assumptions
Estimated value and equity over the hold
Grey is the outstanding mortgage, green is your equity. Together they make the estimated property value each year.
Over 5 years, estimated equity moves from AED 375,000 to AED 836,578, a change of AED 461,578 before selling costs and taxes. This is a projection on your inputs, not advice or a guarantee.

How to read these numbers
Illustrative, not live
Every price, rent and yield on this page is demonstration data built to show how the tools work. It is not a live listing, an offer or a forecast.
How yields are defined
Gross yield is annual rent divided by price. Net yield takes off service charges and maintenance before financing. Cash flow then removes the mortgage payment.
What the model leaves out
Projections exclude purchase fees, agency and transfer costs, income tax in your home country and selling costs. Treat the outputs as a starting point for a conversation.
