Property Investment Calculator — Mumbai (2026)

Rental yield, cash flow, and return on cash for a buy-to-let in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Planning to live in it instead? Use the Mumbai rent vs buy calculator.

Thinking about buying property to rent out in Mumbai? This calculator models a Mumbai buy-to-let the way an investor should look at it — not just the EMI, but the gross rental yield, monthly cash flow, the full 8.1% of upfront transaction costs (Maharashtra stamp duty, registration, and brokerage), and your return on cash if you sell in any of the next 30 years.

On the worked example of a ₹2,50,00,000 property (assuming 30% down at 8.5% over 20 years, all editable), the EMI is ₹1,51,869 and you need ₹95,30,000 of upfront cash. A typical rent of ₹70,000/month is a gross rental yield of 3.4% and a monthly shortfall of ₹81,869 that you fund until rents rise.

Selling after 10 years under the default 7% property-growth and 5% rent-growth assumptions, the modelled net gain is ₹1,92,49,219 — a return on cash of about 202% on your ₹95,30,000 outlay. The investment breaks even on sale around year 2. Rental yields and price growth vary a lot by locality and are not guaranteed — use the calculator to test conservative cases before you commit.

Mumbai property investment FAQs

What is the rental yield in Mumbai?

At a rent of ₹70,000/month on a ₹2,50,00,000 property, the gross rental yield in Mumbai is about 3.4% per year (before maintenance, tax, and vacancy). That is the annual rent as a share of the purchase price.

Is a buy-to-let property cash-flow positive in Mumbai?

Not initially. At ₹70,000 rent against a ₹1,51,869 EMI (30% down at 8.5% over 20 years), you top up about ₹81,869 a month; rent growth narrows this gap over time.

What return could a Mumbai property give if sold in 10 years?

Selling after 10 years (default 7% property growth, 5% rent growth, 1.0% resale cost), the modelled net gain is ₹1,92,49,219 on ₹95,30,000 of upfront cash — a return on cash of about 202%. These are assumptions you can change.

How much upfront cash do I need to invest in a ₹2.50 Cr property in Mumbai?

To invest in a ₹2,50,00,000 property in Mumbai you need roughly ₹95,30,000 upfront: a 30% down payment of ₹75,00,000 plus ₹20,30,000 of stamp duty, registration, and brokerage.

When does a Mumbai property investment break even?

Under the default assumptions, a Mumbai purchase turns net-positive on sale around year 2 — before that, appreciation has not yet covered your transaction and holding costs.
