How This Is Calculated+

-   —Value at handover — purchase price compounded at the selected growth rate for the years to handover.
-   —Rental income — the selected yield applied to the property's value at the start of each hold year; the value then appreciates before the next year's rent is calculated.
-   —Total value at exit — the property's value at the end of the hold period plus all rental income received.
-   —Total return — total value at exit less the purchase price.
-   —Annualised ROI — the constant annual rate that turns the purchase price into the exit total over the full 7\-year period (compound growth rate).
-   —Payment plan — booking fee assumed at a flat 20% of the purchase price; the remainder is split between construction instalments and the handover payment.
-   —Total cash required at purchase — purchase price plus the 4% DLD fee and the typical AED 5,250 admin fee, shown separately and excluded from the return figures above.
-   —All return figures above are gross returns. They assume a cash purchase and exclude the DLD and admin fees shown separately, as well as ongoing running costs — service charge, management fee, void periods, and maintenance.

## Questions about the calculator

Is there a free tool to compare Dubai off-plan payment plans and project my return before handover?

Yes. This calculator is free and needs no login. Choose a payment split such as 50/50 or 60/40, the years to handover, the price, the growth and yield assumptions and the holding period, and it projects the capital due before and at handover, the value at handover, the rental income over the hold and the total and annualised return.

What does the calculator model?

How the price splits into booking, construction and handover payments; value growth through the build with no rent; rental income and growth over the holding period; total and annualised return; and the result in AED, USD, EUR or GBP at fixed indicative rates. It does not model mortgages, post-handover plans, service charges, empty periods or tax at home. Every figure is illustrative and follows the assumptions you set.

Can I keep the result?

Yes. The calculator produces a D+H Investment Summary as a PDF, so you can compare projects or share the scenario with your adviser before a Discovery Call.
