Dubai Rental Yield Calculator
Gross and net rental yield for any Dubai or UAE property. Free — no login.
Most UAE listings quote gross yield (annual rent ÷ purchase price). What matters for investment decisions is net yield — after service charges, vacancy, maintenance, and management. This calculator does both.
How to use this calculator
Enter the listing price, expected annual rent, unit size, and service charges. The tool computes gross yield (the number most agents quote) alongside net yield (the number banks and institutional investors actually use).
Typical Dubai yields by area (2026)
- International City — 8–9% gross, 5–6% net
- JLT / Discovery Gardens — 7–8% gross, 5–6% net
- JVC / Al Furjan — 6.5–7.5% gross, 5–6% net
- Business Bay — 6–7% gross, 4–5% net
- Dubai Marina / JBR — 5–6% gross, 3.5–4.5% net
- Downtown Dubai / Palm Jumeirah — 4–5% gross, 2.5–3.5% net
Why net yield matters more than gross
A 9% gross yield in a building with AED 28/sq ft service charges can net out below a 5% yield in a well-managed building with AED 14/sq ft charges. Always compute both.
