Enter a value, a growth assumption and a holding period to see how capital gain compounds — and what is left after selling costs. These are assumptions you control, not forecasts.
Results update as you type.
Set this to 0% — or negative — to see what a flat or falling market would mean.
Applied to the projected sale value, not today's price.
Define your own range. Comparing the three is more informative than any single number.
These are assumptions, not forecasts. Dubai has historically been cyclical, with strong growth phases and material corrections. Nothing here is a guarantee of future performance.

The link saves your assumptions only — no personal details are included.
The gap between scenarios widens because growth compounds — which is exactly why a single projection should not drive a decision.
The same inputs under three growth assumptions.
| Scenario | Rate | Value | Net gain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conservative | 1% | AED 2,209,244 | AED 165,059 |
| Base | 4% | AED 2,960,489 | AED 901,279 |
| Optimistic | 7% | AED 3,934,303 | AED 1,855,617 |
Capital growth depends on supply pipeline, infrastructure and the specific community. We can talk you through what we are seeing.
This calculator projects what a property might be worth after a number of years at a compound annual growth rate you set, and shows what is left after selling costs. It runs three scenarios — conservative, base and optimistic — so you can see the range rather than anchoring on one number. These are assumptions you control, not predictions.
FV = P × (1 + r)ⁿ, where P is the current value, r the annual growth rate and n the number of years. Growth compounds, so small differences in rate produce large differences over long periods.
Gross appreciation is future value less the starting value. Net gain subtracts estimated selling costs, calculated on the future sale value rather than today’s price.
The conservative, base and optimistic rates are all editable. Comparing them shows how sensitive the outcome is to an assumption nobody can know in advance.
Every figure the Appreciation uses is listed in the “Calculation assumptions” panel above, with its source and the date we last reviewed it.
