Dubai property calculators
Our Dubai property calculators give quick working estimates. You can check buying costs including the 4% DLD fee, the maximum rent increase under the RERA index, mortgage repayments and gross or net rental yield. They are a starting point, not a quote. Confirm fees with DLD and your bank, and check your rent position on the official DLD rental index calculator.

The calculators
- Property buying cost calculator: estimates the 4% DLD transfer fee and other purchase costs, with fields for the fees that vary.
- Rent increase calculator: applies the RERA rental index bands to your current rent and the index average.
- Mortgage calculator: estimates monthly repayments from loan amount, rate and term.
- Rental yield calculator: works out gross and net yield from your own rent and cost inputs.
How to use them well
Use real inputs. Take the price from the MOU, the rate from your bank's offer, and service charges from Mollak. Run a cautious case as well as a hopeful one. For rent increases, get the index average for your property from the official DLD rental index calculator, then use our tool to see the band.
What the calculators cannot do
They do not know your bank's fees, your building's actual service charges or current market rents. Their results are estimates and may differ from official figures. They are not financial advice. Read the guides behind each tool: buying costs, rent increase rules, mortgages for expats and rental yield explained.
Official calculators and data
Some figures should always come from the source. The DLD rental index calculator sets the reference average for rent increases. Mollak shows a building's approved service charges. Your bank's offer letter sets your actual rate and fees. DLD's published fee schedule confirms transfer and admin charges. Use our tools to understand the shape of the numbers, then confirm each input with the official source before you sign anything.
Next steps
If the numbers work, look at properties for sale. If you are a landlord checking your rent, our rental valuation service gives a view based on current comparable lets.
Questions people ask
Is the rent increase calculator official?
No. It applies the published RERA index bands to the figures you enter. The official position comes from the DLD rental index calculator.
Does the buying cost calculator include agency fees?
It includes fields for agency and other variable fees, so you can enter the figures you have been quoted.
Can I rely on the mortgage calculator for approval?
No. Approval depends on the bank's assessment of your income, liabilities and the property valuation. Use the result as a guide and get pre-approval.
What is the difference between gross and net yield?
Gross yield is annual rent divided by price. Net yield deducts running costs such as service charges, maintenance and management fees. Net is the more realistic measure.
