How the Airbnb Roi Calculator Dubai Works
The calculator runs five inputs through a net-yield formula covering both cash flow and capital deployment. Enter each figure accurately, small errors in purchase price or operating costs can shift your ROI by 1–2 percentage points.
Property Purchase Price (AED)
Full acquisition cost in dirhams
This baseline figure determines your total capital at risk and anchors the cap rate calculation.
Down Payment (AED)
The cash paid upfront; determines your capital-at-risk and drives your cash-on-cash return.
Expected Monthly Revenue (AED)
Projected gross rental income per month
Dubai Marina and Downtown listings averaged 72–78% occupancy in 2025 — use realistic figures, not peak-season highs.
Monthly Operating Costs (AED)
All recurring STR expenses including cleaning, DTCM permit fees, platform commissions, and maintenance reserves
STR operating costs run 30–45% higher than long-term rentals; underestimating here is the most common reason projections miss actual returns.
Monthly Mortgage Payment (AED)
Your total debt service if the property is financed; enter 0 if you own the property outright.
