Common questions about XIRR Calculator for Real Estate Investment

What is the typical real estate XIRR in top Indian cities?

Including rental yield (2-3%) plus price appreciation (7-10%), total real estate XIRR in top Indian metros is approximately 9-13% pre-tax over 10-year holding periods. After deducting maintenance (0.5-1% of value per year), property tax, and capital gains tax, post-tax XIRR is typically 7-11%. This is below Nifty 50 XIRR historically but offers leverage benefits.

How do I include home loan EMI in XIRR calculation for property?

Each monthly EMI is a negative cashflow. Down payment and all purchase costs at closing are a large negative cashflow. Annual maintenance and property tax are negative cashflows. Monthly rent received is positive cashflow. Final sale proceeds (after capital gains tax and brokerage) is a large positive cashflow. XIRR on this entire series gives the leveraged return on your equity invested.

What costs are often forgotten in real estate XIRR calculations?

Commonly forgotten: stamp duty and registration (5-8% upfront), brokerage on purchase and sale (0.5-2% each), interior costs for own use or to attract tenants (Rs 3-15 lakh), society maintenance charges (Rs 2,000-10,000/month), property tax (Rs 5,000-30,000/year), loan insurance, and months of vacancy between tenants. Including all these typically reduces real estate XIRR by 1-3 percentage points.
