Interactive estimator
Dubai net rental-yield calculator
Compare advertised gross yield with income remaining after recurring operating assumptions.
Educational estimate only. Use achieved rent and the current approved building service charge. Financing, tax treatment and capital growth are not included.
Do not compare gross and net figures
Two listings can advertise similar gross yields while producing different net income because of service charges, management, furnishing replacement, cooling, maintenance and vacancy.
Use achieved evidence conservatively
Use an existing lease or several relevant comparables. Asking rent is not guaranteed rent, and a short-term rental projection requires occupancy and operating-cost assumptions.
Match the denominator to the decision
For unlevered net yield, compare income with purchase price or total acquisition cost consistently. For financed property, separately model debt service and cash invested.
Property-level information to verify
- Realistic annual rent
- Vacancy allowance
- Service charges and management
- Maintenance and furnishing reserve
- Purchase price versus total cash basis
