What is the Space8 Smart Calculator?

It is a free online tool that calculates short-term rental income for Dubai apartments. Enter your property details and get a full 12-month P&L forecast with gross income, operating costs, net profit and ROI.

How is the rental income calculated?

The calculator uses your peak gross income for a selected month and applies Dubai seasonal demand coefficients to project all 12 months. Expenses include service charge, municipal fees, electricity, AC, internet, maintenance, property management fee and VAT.

What apartment types are supported?

Studio (STD), 1 Bedroom, 2 Bedrooms, and 3 Bedrooms. Each type has its own expense profile based on real Dubai market data.

What is Occupancy Rate?

Occupancy Rate is the percentage of days per year the apartment is rented out. The Dubai short-term rental market average is 75–85%. A higher occupancy rate directly increases your annual gross income.

Net Yield is the annual net profit divided by the property value, expressed as a percentage. It shows the actual return on your investment after all expenses.
