Discuss Your PlanIndian buyers consistently underestimate Dubai property total cost because only the AED list price appears in developer marketing. Actual outlay includes: AED list price + DLD transfer fee (4%) + broker commission (2% + VAT for secondary) + title and trustee fees + developer admin. This adds approximately 5-7% to any purchase, transforming a AED 2M headline into AED 2.12-2.14M actual outlay.
For resident Indian buyers, the rupee side adds further complexity. TCS at 20% on LRS remittances above ₹7 lakh creates temporary cash lock-up (refundable via ITR but locked up until refund), and forex spread on conversion typically adds 0.3-0.5% to the headline rate. A AED 2M property at 23.15 INR/AED with full transaction costs works out to approximately ₹4.96 crore total outlay — substantially above the ₹4.63 crore simple conversion.
The calculator above performs all these calculations live. Adjust the AED value, transaction cost selection, and residency status to see your actual total outlay — including TCS impact, LRS planning implications, and per-co-owner breakdown.
The LRS cap of USD 250,000 per individual per financial year is the binding constraint for most Indian property purchases. At current AED-USD rates, this translates to approximately AED 917,000 per person per year. For any purchase above this, buyers must either pool across multiple co-owners or spread remittance across multiple financial years via off-plan payment plans.
The calculator's "co-owners" field lets you model pooling effects. A AED 4M purchase with 2 co-owners requires USD 550K each — above single-year LRS cap. With 4 co-owners (you, spouse, and 2 adult children), each contributes USD 275K — fits within annual cap for most. Family pooling is fully legal when each co-owner is properly registered on the DLD title deed.
For off-plan purchases, the calculator's logic assumes full upfront payment. In practice, off-plan 40/60 payment plans spread total remittance across 3-5 years, dramatically reducing single-year LRS pressure. For complex off-plan timing, speak with us directly — we can model specific payment schedules against your LRS capacity.
Default 23.15 INR per 1 AED reflects current interbank rates. For actual transactions, expect 0.3-0.5% worse (higher INR) due to bank forex spread. For HNI transactions above USD 50,000 equivalent, negotiate spread with your bank's treasury desk rather than accepting default rate card. Updates from buyer-to-buyer vary based on your specific bank relationship.
Yes. TCS at 20% on LRS above ₹7 lakh is collected by your bank during remittance but is refundable against your Indian income tax liability when you file ITR. For most salaried buyers with regular TDS, the TCS refunds in full at ITR filing time (June-July following the transaction). Functionally it is a temporary cash lock-up of 6-12 months, not a permanent tax cost.
Somewhat. Banks quote different spreads to different customers based on relationship and transaction size. For AED 2M+ (USD ~545K) transactions, most major Indian banks will quote 20-40 paise better than walk-in retail rates if you request treasury desk quotation. Forex cards and fintech services offer lower spreads but are NOT compliant for LRS property purchases — they work for travel but not real estate.
Currently only INR-AED. AED is effectively pegged to USD at 3.67 AED per 1 USD, making USD conversions straightforward. If you are funding from GBP, EUR, or SGD accounts, convert to USD first using your source bank's rate, then use the per-person USD figure from this calculator to check against LRS.
Plan backwards from your full LRS budget. If you want to keep ₹50 lakh (~USD 60K) for travel, education, or other LRS uses during the same financial year, treat your effective property LRS capacity as USD 190K rather than USD 250K. Update the co-owner count in the calculator accordingly — you may need more co-owners to fit a large purchase while preserving personal LRS flexibility.
Yes — select "NRI" in the residency field. NRIs fund from NRE accounts which have no annual cap, so LRS warnings disappear. TCS calculation also disappears since NRIs do not pay TCS on their own NRE-funded transactions. The calculator otherwise works identically for total cost calculation and co-owner modeling.
LRS planning at larger purchase sizes has optimisation levers — timing the financial year boundary, family pooling structures, off-plan payment plan alignment. Share your situation on WhatsApp for personalised analysis.
