Rental yield calculator
What will you really earn from renting it out?
Advertised yields leave out the costs. Put in the rent, the service charge and a few empty months to see what's left.
What's the difference between gross and net?
Gross is rent divided by price. Net is what's left after the costs, and it's the number that matters.
Gross yield
What listings advertise. On the three islands we cover, average gross yields run from about 3.5% to 6.3%. Renting guide
Service charges
The biggest cost. On Al Reem they usually run Dh25 to Dh45 per sq ft a year. Service charges guide
Empty months
Every month without a tenant still has service charges. Budget for at least one.
