Project the total return on a property investment over time in Pakistan.
About the Property Investment Calculator
Numbers should not slow you down. The Property Investment Calculator does the arithmetic for you and shows the result live, so you can focus on the decision rather than the maths.
Is that plot or apartment a good investment? This Property Investment Calculator computes the return on a property purchase — combining rental yield, capital appreciation and the costs of holding it — so you can compare property with other investments like mutual funds or bank deposits.
The two numbers that matter are rental yield (annual rent divided by price) and appreciation (how much the property grows each year). Together they form the total return, which this calculator shows alongside the holding costs that eat into it.
In Pakistani cities, residential plots have historically appreciated faster than houses, while houses and apartments generate rental income. The right choice depends on whether you want income or growth — this tool lets you model both.
Remember that property is illiquid: buying and selling carries registration, stamp duty and agent costs that can consume years of yield. Factor those in when comparing with liquid investments, and treat the return here as the gross picture before transaction costs.
Come back to the Property Investment Calculator whenever your numbers change; because everything runs live in your browser, you can re-run it as many times as you need at no cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a good property investment?
Look for locations with strong rental demand AND appreciation potential. This calculator adds both streams to show total return over your holding period.
What is a good rental yield in Pakistan?
Residential yields typically range 3–6% of property value per year, with commercial properties often higher. Capital appreciation, not rent, has been the main driver of Pakistani property returns.
What costs reduce my property return?
Registration fees, stamp duty, property tax, maintenance and agent commissions. On a typical sale these can total 5–8% of the price, which matters over short holding periods.
