How this calculator works
Total acquisition cost adds the purchase price, the government property registration fee (approximately 3% in Oman), a flat admin/registration fee, and — for secondary-market purchases only — a typical 2% agency commission. Off-plan purchases in this calculator skip the agency fee, since off-plan units are usually bought directly from the developer.
Gross rental yield is estimated annual rent divided by purchase price. It ignores service charges, maintenance, vacancy periods, and financing costs, so it's a fast way to compare areas against each other — not a substitute for a full net cash-flow model on a specific unit. If you enter an annual service charge, the calculator also shows net yield, subtracting that cost from annual rent before dividing — a meaningfully more honest number for buildings with high community fees, which can quietly erase 1-2 percentage points of headline yield.
Net yield on total cost goes one step further and divides that net income by the full acquisition cost rather than the headline price. Fees are real money you had to put in to earn the rent, so this is the figure closest to what the purchase actually returns — expect it to sit a few tenths of a point below the net yield above it.
Frequently asked questions
How is the transfer fee calculated?
In Oman, the property registration fee is approximately 3% of the purchase price, applied to the full purchase price, not just the deposit.
What is the agency fee, and when does it apply?
A typical secondary-market agency commission of 2% applies when buying a ready/secondary property through an agent. Off-plan purchases made directly from a developer typically don't carry this fee, which is why the calculator only adds it for secondary-market purchases.
Is the appreciation range a guarantee?
No. The appreciation ranges shown (roughly 4-9% annually for off-plan, 2-5% for secondary) are deliberately conservative, general-market bands — not a forecast tied to any specific area's actual historical performance, and not a promise of future returns.
Is this gross or net rental yield?
Both, plus a third figure. Gross yield is annual rent divided by the purchase price. If you enter an annual service charge, you also get net yield, which subtracts that cost from the rent first. And the 'net yield on total cost' line divides that same net income by what the purchase actually cost you — price plus registration, agency, and admin fees — which is the truest of the three. None of them subtract maintenance, vacancy periods, or financing costs, so treat even the lowest figure as a comparison tool, not a final cash-flow projection.
Where does the annual rent figure come from?
You can type it in directly. If you pick a tracked Oman area from the dropdown, the field is prefilled using that area's tracked rental yield estimate applied to your purchase price; with no area selected it defaults to a 6% yield. Either way the number stays editable, so if you have a real rental quote for a specific unit, enter it and every figure below updates against it.
