Calculate your Dubai 3BR rental income — 12-month forecast with premium market rates, all operating costs, net profit and ROI.
A Dubai 3BR in a prime location earns 28,000–55,000 AED per month at peak (December–February). Annual gross income: 320,000–550,000 AED. Net profit after all expenses: 240,000–380,000 AED. Palm Jumeirah and Downtown units with premium views sit at the top of this range.
Palm Jumeirah delivers the highest ADR for 3BR (especially frond villas and sea-view apartments). Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina are strong alternatives with better occupancy. JBR, Business Bay and Dubai Hills are mid-market options with lower entry prices.
DEWA (electricity AED 450/mo + water), AC up to AED 950/mo, internet AED 311/mo, maintenance AED 250/mo, municipal fee (5% of DEWA value / 12), PM fee 15%, VAT 5% on PM, DTCM AED 380, photoshoot AED 750, insurance AED 2,000 and service charge per ft².
3BR delivers the highest absolute annual income but requires significantly more capital (3–4× more than a 1BR) and has lower occupancy and net yield. For investors focused on total cash return and have the capital, 3BR in Palm or Downtown can be exceptional. For capital efficiency and yield, a 1BR typically wins.
