Make each
Dirham count.
Before you buy, borrow, or invest in the UAE, see the costs that matter. Explore practical guides and run the numbers yourself.
What could your property actually return?
Enter your own purchase and rental assumptions. The estimate shows annual yield after recurring costs, before financing and tax.
Property details
Use current figures for the specific property you are considering.
Your estimate
Based on the figures entered at left.
Enter a purchase price above zero and a vacancy allowance from 0 to 100%.
Illustrative estimate only. Excludes mortgage payments, financing costs, tax, capital gains and changes in property value. Verify fees and rent before making a decision.
How the estimate is calculated
Effective rent = annual rent × (1 − vacancy percentage). Net annual income = effective rent − annual service charges − other annual costs. Net annual yield = net annual income ÷ (purchase price + one-time buying costs) × 100.
The entered amounts are your assumptions, not live market data. Financing, taxes and changes in property value are excluded. Your inputs stay in this page; the calculator does not submit them.
Decisions worth getting right
Short, practical starting points. Each guide gives you the questions and numbers to check before you commit.
Guides provide general education. Linked authority and provider pages help you check specific rules or terms; linking to them does not mean those organisations endorse EachDirham.
