These figures are illustrative estimates based on the assumptions selected above and do not represent actual or guaranteed returns. Real-world performance depends on the specific property, rental income, occupancy, fees, market conditions, financing structure and exit timing. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Key Metrics

Gross Yield vs. Net Yield

Many agencies advertise "Gross Yields" of 8-10% in Dubai. But gross yield is simply your annual rent divided by the purchase price. Net Yield is what actually enters your bank account because it subtracts recurring annual service charges (maintenance of building amenities) and property management fees.

Projected Portfolio Value

Projected Portfolio Value estimates how much your Dubai property investment could be worth at the end of your selected investment period. It combines your initial investment with the expected growth from annual rental income and property appreciation, helping you visualize the future value of your portfolio.

Total Return

Total Return shows the overall profit your investment may generate over time. It includes both the rental income earned and the increase in your property's value, giving you a complete picture of your potential investment performance.

Annual Rental Income

Annual Rental Income estimates the income your property could generate each year based on your expected rental yield. This helps you understand the cash flow your investment may produce while you own the property.

Property Appreciation

Property Appreciation estimates how much your property's value could increase over time. While market performance can vary, long-term appreciation has been one of the key drivers of wealth creation in Dubai's real estate market.

Annualized Return

Annualized Return shows your average yearly return over the entire investment period. It combines rental income and property appreciation into a single percentage, making it easier to compare different investment opportunities and measure long-term performance.

THE PROCESS

How It Works

Understanding your projected returns takes only a few seconds. Follow these simple steps to estimate your long-term wealth creation:

STEP 01

Set Your Investment Amount:

Input your total starting capital. This can represent either the full cash purchase price of a property or your initial down payment + acquisition costs if you are financing.

STEP 02

Choose Your Investment Horizon:

Select how many years you plan to hold the asset (e.g., 5 to 10 years). This helps calculate the compounding effect of annual rental yields and property appreciation over time.

STEP 03

Input Projected Yield & Appreciation:

Enter your expected annual rental yield (averages in Dubai range between 6% to 9%) and expected annual market appreciation (historically averaging 3% to 5%, depending on the community).

STEP 04

Analyze Your Future Portfolio Growth:

Instantly view your Projected Value, Total Return, and Annualized Return. The interactive graph splits your wealth into rental income generated versus physical asset appreciation.
