1. What is the RERA Rental Calculator?

The RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) Rental Calculator determines the maximum allowable rent increase for properties in Dubai based on the RERA Rental Index. For 2025, it calculates the new rent using the approved percentage increase.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the RERA rent increase formula:

Where:

• Current Rent — The existing annual rent amount in AED
• RERA Index Rate — The percentage increase approved by RERA for 2025

Explanation: The formula calculates the new maximum rent by applying the RERA-approved percentage increase to the current rent.

3. Importance of RERA Index

Details: The RERA Rental Index protects tenants from excessive rent increases while ensuring fair returns for landlords. It's mandatory for Dubai rental contracts.
