1. What is the Ejari Rent Calculator?

The Ejari Rent Calculator estimates rent increases using Dubai's Ejari system and RERA index. It helps tenants and landlords determine permissible rent increases according to Dubai's rental laws.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Current Rent} \) — Current annual rent amount in AED
• \( \text{RERA Index Rate} \) — Percentage increase allowed by RERA index

Explanation: The calculation applies the RERA-approved percentage increase to the current rent amount to determine the new permissible rent.

3. Importance of Rent Increase Calculation

Details: Accurate rent increase calculation is crucial for compliance with Dubai's rental laws, avoiding disputes between tenants and landlords, and proper financial planning.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter current rent in AED and the RERA index rate as a percentage. Both values must be positive numbers.
