Calculators · Dubai · live data
The maths. Made visible.
Three calculators no one else publishes openly: realistic net yield after service charges and vacancy, the complete DLD closing-cost picture, and a live EUR↔AED rate sourced from the ECB. No sign-up, no trackers, no sales funnel — just the numbers.
Tool I · Rental yield
Gross looks good. Net is the truth.
Gross yields are marketing numbers. Anyone investing in Dubai must deduct service charges, vacancy and management — only then do you see what is left. Enter your assumptions and the calculator shows both side by side.
- Gross yield
- 7.33 %
- Net yield
- 5.80 %
- Annual net income
- 104,340 AED ≈ EUR 26,085
- Payback
- 17.3 years
NoteService charges range from AED 12–30 per sqft per year depending on the building. 8 % vacancy approximates ~4 weeks empty per year — realistic for well-located ready stock. Off-plan economics differ: yield is measured from handover, not from purchase date.
Tool II · Closing costs
What sits on top of the price.
Dubai has no property transfer tax like Germany — but the Dubai Land Department fee, the trustee-office fee and the title-deed issuance add up. With a mortgage there is also the registration fee. Here all line items are laid out transparently.
- DLD transfer fee (4 %)
- 72,000 AED
- Trustee office fee
- 4,500 AED
- Title deed issuance
- 250 AED
- Total closing cost
- 76,750 AED
4.26 % of purchase price
NoteStandard: 4 % DLD transfer fee, 0.25 % mortgage registration (if financed), trustee office fee 0.25 % (capped between AED 2,000 and 5,000), AED 250 title-deed issuance. Developer NOC fees (typically AED 2,000–3,500) are not included — they vary by project.
Tool III · Exchange rate
EUR. AED. Live.
The exchange rate is pulled live from the European Central Bank. Type in either field — the other updates instantly. For calculations without the guesswork.

NoteSource: Frankfurter API (based on ECB reference rates, updated each business day around 16:00 CET). Banks typically apply a 1.5–3 % spread plus a transfer fee — your effective rate will sit slightly below the mid-market.
