1. What is the Dubai Rental Increase Calculator?

The Dubai Rental Increase Calculator helps tenants and landlords determine the maximum allowable rent increase according to RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency) regulations. It calculates the new rent based on the current rent and the applicable percentage increase.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard formula for rental increases:

Where:

• Old Rent — Current annual rent amount in AED
• Rate — Percentage increase allowed by RERA

Explanation: The calculation follows RERA's guidelines for determining the maximum permissible rent increase when renewing a tenancy contract in Dubai.

3. Understanding RERA Rental Increase Rules

Details: RERA sets maximum rent increase percentages based on how much the current rent compares to average market rents for similar properties. The calculator helps apply these rules consistently.

4. Using the Calculator
