Also known as a rent escalation calculator or rental yield growth calculator — four inputs give you a complete picture of what a rental property actually earns over time.
Enter your property value and current rent
The property value is used to calculate gross and net yield percentages. Monthly rent is the starting point for the projection.
Set the annual rent increase and projection period
In most Indian cities, residential rents increase 5–10% per year at renewal. Enter the rate you expect and how many years you want to project — up to 30.
Add your expenses
Vacancy rate accounts for months the property sits empty (5% = ~18 days/year). Maintenance is typically 1% of property value annually. Add property tax and insurance if applicable.
Include your home loan EMI (optional)
Toggle on the loan section and enter your outstanding loan amount, interest rate, and remaining tenure. The calculator shows whether your rental income covers the EMI — and by how much.
Before buying a rental property
Plug in the asking price and expected rent. If a ₹60 L flat rents for ₹18,000/month, that's a 3.6% gross yield — before vacancy, maintenance, or tax. Most people are surprised how thin the margin actually is.
When your EMI is higher than the rent
A lot of Indian landlords are in this situation — EMI of ₹40,000, rent of ₹28,000. The calculator shows the exact year when rent growth (at say 7%/yr) finally covers the EMI, so you know how long you're subsidising the property.
Deciding how much to raise rent at renewal
Run two projections — one at 5% annual increase, one at 10%. The difference in cumulative income over 10 years is often larger than people expect, and it helps justify the conversation with a tenant.
Comparing a property to other investments
Net yield of 2.5% after expenses vs a debt mutual fund at 7% — the numbers are right there. Property has appreciation upside that this calculator doesn't capture, but at least you're comparing the income side honestly.
