Investment Score

Enter your own purchase price, rental income and cost assumptions to see gross and net yield, acquisition costs and scenario-based returns. Every number here is a transparent function of what you enter — nothing is pulled from live market data or presented as guaranteed.

A weighted comparison score, not a certified financial metric — the reference points above (5% gross yield, 3.5% net yield, a 3-year hold, 6% transaction cost) are this portal’s own editorial baseline, not a verified market benchmark.

Methodology

How These Figures Are Calculated

Price per sq ft = purchase price ÷ property size.
Acquisition costs = purchase price × your transaction cost assumption (commonly DLD transfer fee + agency commission + other fees in Dubai).
Annual net income = annual rental income − annual service charges − other annual operating expenses.
Gross rental yield = annual rental income ÷ purchase price.
Net rental yield = annual net income ÷ (purchase price + acquisition costs).
Projected exit value = purchase price compounded at your assumed annual appreciation rate over your holding period.
Annualised total return = the compound annual growth rate implied by your total initial outlay growing into your outlay plus total return over the holding period.

Reading the score

How the 0–100 Investment Score Is Built

The Investment Score starts from a neutral base of 50 points and adds or subtracts points based on how your gross yield, net yield, holding period and transaction cost assumptions compare to this portal’s own editorial reference points for a large-format Dubai luxury resale (5% gross yield, 3.5% net yield, a 3-year hold, and a 6% transaction cost). Every component is shown in the breakdown above the score — nothing is hidden in a single number.

Band	Score Range
Weak	0–30
Fair	31–50
Good	51–70
Strong	71–85
Excellent	86–100

Portal Insight

Because IL Primo’s official service charge (AED 29.06/sqft/year) scales directly with a unit’s documented area, and rent per square foot typically falls as units get larger, net yield is far more sensitive to unit size here than on a typical 1–2 bedroom Downtown purchase. Run the same purchase price through both a smaller and a larger documented floor plan (see Floor Plans) to see how much net yield moves.

This tool does not use or imply any verified rental income or appreciation figure for IL Primo specifically — see Service Charges for the one verified, official figure this portal currently has (the DLD service charge index), and treat all other inputs as your own assumptions to stress-test. This calculator does not constitute financial, investment, tax or legal advice.
