About Property Investment Analyser

Evaluating property as an investment requires comparing total returns (rental yield plus capital appreciation) against alternative investments after accounting for all costs. Key metrics: Gross Rental Yield = Annual Rent divided by Property Value times 100; Net Rental Yield = (Annual Rent minus all expenses) divided by Property Value times 100; Cap Rate = Net Operating Income divided by Property Value times 100 (excludes financing costs).

Total property returns in India over the past decade have been 7-12% per year in good locations, combining 3-4% net rental yield and 4-8% capital appreciation. However, property is illiquid (can take months to sell), requires active management, and has high transaction costs (stamp duty, brokerage, registration totalling 8-10%). Compare against Nifty 50 index which has delivered 12-14% CAGR over the same period with high liquidity. Property makes sense as a long-term wealth builder and hedge against inflation, but should not be the only investment in a portfolio.

Worked Example

An ₹80,00,000 property with a 20% down payment, 8.5% loan rate over 20 years, starting rent ₹25,000/month growing 5%/year, 6%/year appreciation, ₹20,000/year expenses, held for 10 years: EMI ≈ ₹55,541/month, future property value ≈ ₹1,43,26,782 (capital gain ₹63,26,782), total net rental over 10 years ≈ ₹35,73,368, giving a total return of about ₹99,00,149 on total own-investment of ₹82,64,882 — an overall ROI of roughly 119.8% and average monthly cashflow of about ₹27,571.

Frequently Asked Questions

This calculator models a leveraged purchase with a home loan (EMI, interest) and growing rent year-over-year, giving a more realistic long-term investment simulation. The Real Estate ROI Calculator uses simpler, fixed inputs (a single rent figure, no financing) for a quicker snapshot calculation.
Gross Rental Yield = Annual Rent ÷ Property Value × 100 (before any costs). Net Rental Yield = (Annual Rent minus all expenses) ÷ Property Value × 100. Cap Rate = Net Operating Income ÷ Property Value × 100, similar to net yield but specifically excluding financing costs — useful for comparing properties independent of how they're financed.
Total property returns (rental yield plus appreciation) have historically run around 7-12% per year in good locations — roughly 3-4% net rental yield plus 4-8% capital appreciation. That's often lower than equity index returns (Nifty 50 has delivered 12-14% CAGR over the same period) but property offers diversification and is less volatile day-to-day.
A property can show a great multi-year ROI on paper while still draining cash every month if rental income doesn't cover the EMI and expenses — that's negative cashflow, which can strain your finances even if the investment is profitable long-term. This calculator surfaces average monthly cashflow specifically so you can check affordability, not just total returns.
