How to Use the ROI Calculator

A step-by-step guide to estimating your return on investment. Follow along with your own property numbers.

01

Select Location & Unit Type

Pick the property location from the dropdown — each location has different price ranges and appreciation rates pre-loaded. Then choose the unit type that matches your property.

02

Enter Price & Area

Type the unit price in EGP and the total area in square meters. The calculator will show the price per square meter and flag if it's outside the typical range for that location.

03

Set the Downpayment

Adjust the downpayment percentage using the slider. A higher downpayment means more upfront cash but lower monthly installments. The default is 25%.

Choose Installment Plan & Delivery

Select how many years you'll spread your payments over (1-10 years). Choose whether the property is ready to move in or under construction — if under construction, pick the expected delivery year and quarter.
