Method

How to calculate net rental yield in Dubai

The calculator above works in four steps using area averages:

Size: your budget is divided by the area's average price per sq ft to estimate the unit size.
Gross rent: budget × the area's gross rental yield. Area bands are based on Dubai Land Department rental data.
Costs: the annual service charge (rate per sq ft × size) and property management (3% of gross rent) are deducted.
Net ROI: the remaining annual amount divided by your budget.

Example: an AED 1,100,000 apartment in Jumeirah Village Circle is roughly 560 sq ft. Gross rent is AED 88,000 a year; after a service charge of about AED 7,800 (AED 14/sq ft) and AED 2,640 management, you keep about AED 77,500 a year — a net yield of roughly 7%.

Results are area averages; actual figures vary by project, floor and view. The Golden Visa threshold is AED 2,000,000 and counts the property value only. Step-by-step guide: How to calculate net rental yield
