1. What is Shared Ownership Rent?

Shared ownership rent in Dubai refers to the monthly payment made by a property owner for the portion of the property they don't own. This is common in shared ownership schemes where you might own a percentage of the property and pay rent on the remaining portion.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the shared ownership rent formula:

Where:

• \( Unowned\ Share \) — Percentage of property you don't own (e.g., 75%)
• \( Property\ Value \) — Total value of the property in AED
• \( Rent\ Rate \) — Annual rent rate as percentage of property value (e.g., 2.75%)

Explanation: The formula calculates the annual rent for the unowned portion and divides by 12 to get the monthly payment.
