Your details

Currency

The developer’s sale price, in the currency you chose.

How the payment is split. Pick a common one or adjust the percentages below.

Split in %

Deposit: at booking. Build: while it is built. Handover: when you get the keys. After: instalments after handover. It must add up to 100%.

We use the months to work out an indicative monthly instalment. “Months after” only matters if your plan has payments after handover.

Some developers pay it for you. Check your contract.

More options

They are added to the booking payment. For example, an agreed commission or the developer’s admin fee. Leave them at 0 if they do not apply.

How it is calculated

  1. 01

    Each stage is a share of the price

    We multiply the price by the deposit, build, handover and after percentages.

  2. 02

    At booking

    We add the deposit, the DLD fee you choose, AED 20 for registration and, if you enter them, commission and other costs.

  3. 03

    During the build

    We spread that share over the months of construction to give an indicative monthly instalment. Each developer sets the real dates.

  4. 04

    At handover

    We add the handover share and AED 520 for the title deed, map and fees.

  5. 05

    Currency

    Everything is calculated in dirhams and converted to euros or dollars at today’s rate. The dollar is pegged at AED 3.6725.

Frequently asked questions

Are all fees included?

It includes the DLD fee and the official registration and handover fees. Developer charges or commission can be added under “More options”.

Who pays the 4% DLD fee?

The rules split it in half unless agreed otherwise, and some developers pay it for you. Your contract decides, which is why you can choose 4%, 2% or 0%.

Is the monthly instalment exact?

No. It is an average to give you an idea. In practice instalments follow dates or construction milestones, depending on the contract.

Can I change the currency?

Yes. At the top of the form you choose euros, dollars or dirhams and everything updates instantly.

Is my data stored?

No. Everything is calculated in your browser. We only receive something if you email it to us.
