Check the numbers before you sign, buy or let
Property decisions are large, slow to undo and full of small charges that add up. These free real estate calculators put the numbers in front of you first. Investors can start with the rental yield calculator for gross and net yield, the cap rate calculator for net operating income, cash-on-cash return and DSCR, and the rental property cash flow calculator for a ten-year projection with IRR. The BRRRR calculator, house flipping calculator, short-term rental calculator and gross rent multiplier calculator cover the other common strategies.
Buyers and sellers get the costs around the price itself. The down payment calculator shows how long saving takes and when mortgage insurance applies, the closing cost calculator lists buyer and seller charges with dated rules for the UK, Ontario, Toronto, Texas and Dubai, and the home sale net proceeds calculator works out what a seller keeps. The real estate commission calculator, LTV calculator, home equity and HELOC calculator and price per square foot calculator answer the questions that come up during a deal.
Renters and landlords have their own set: the rent affordability calculator, the rent split calculator for flatmates, the prorated rent calculator for part months, the security deposit calculator with legal caps for India, the UK and 15 US states, and the commercial lease calculator for NNN and gross leases. For Indian property there is the carpet area calculator using the RERA definition, the FSI / FAR calculator, the circle rate calculator from Delhi's official notification and the pre-EMI calculator for under-construction homes.
Rules, tradition and inheritance
- Dated rules. Wherever a tax, fee or legal limit is built in, the page names the source and the date it was checked, and the figure stays editable because rates change.
- Inheritance. The Islamic inheritance calculator shows the classical shares and the working step by step, and says plainly that a scholar and a lawyer should confirm any real division.
- Tradition. The Vastu checker lists the commonly published placements for a home or plot, labelled as tradition rather than engineering, with no paid remedies.

Real Estate & Property: frequently asked questions
Are these real estate calculators free?
Yes. Every calculator is free, needs no account and runs in your browser, so the prices, rents and incomes you type stay on your device.
Which countries do the calculators cover?
Most tools have a country picker for the United States, the United Kingdom, India, Australia, Canada or the UAE that sets the currency and the example figures. Country rules such as stamp duty, deposit caps or loan-to-value limits are only built in where the official source was checked, and each one shows its date.
Is this financial, tax or legal advice?
No. The tools do the arithmetic on the figures you enter and explain the usual rules. Property law, tax and lender policy differ by place and change often, so check important decisions with a qualified adviser, lawyer or lender.
What is the difference between carpet, built-up and super built-up area?
Carpet area is the usable floor inside the walls, as defined in India by the RERA Act 2016. Built-up area adds the walls and an exclusive balcony, and super built-up area adds a share of common areas through a loading factor. The carpet area calculator converts between all three and compares prices per carpet square foot.
How is rental yield different from cap rate?
Gross rental yield divides a year of rent by the price. Cap rate divides net operating income, which is rent after vacancy and running costs but before the mortgage, by the price. Cash-on-cash return then looks at the cash you actually put in after borrowing.
