Property return calculator

Gross yield, net yield and cash-on-cash return for a Dubai purchase. Where Diyarat has evidence — registered Ejari rents by area and bedroom count — it is pre-filled and labelled with its source. Everything else is your input or a clearly marked assumption. Nothing is invented to fill a gap.

Rent pre-filled from 726 registered contracts in Dubai Creek Harbour.

Where the numbers come from

Diyarat-derived — medians computed by Diyarat from Dubai Land Department registered records (Ejari contracts), shown with their contract count and as-of date.
From the listing — the asking price and size the advertiser stated. An asking price is not a recorded sale.
Assumption — a starting point for financing and running costs. Replace it with your lender's and building's actual figures.
Service charges — never estimated. Ask for the building's approved owner-association budget (AED per sq ft per year).
