Real estate calculators take the guesswork out of the biggest purchase most Indians ever make. This hub covers the essentials of a property decision: the stamp duty and registration charges you will pay (with state-specific versions, since rates vary widely by state), the market value and appreciation of a property, its rental yield and ROI as an investment, and the classic rent-versus-buy analysis that tells you whether owning actually beats renting for your situation. Because property is illiquid and concentration-heavy, running these numbers before you commit can save you lakhs and years.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is stamp duty in India?
Stamp duty typically ranges from 4 to 7% of the property value, plus about 1% registration, but it varies significantly by state and sometimes by the buyer (many states offer a concession for women). Use the state-specific Stamp Duty calculator for your exact figure.
Should I rent or buy a home?
It depends on how long you will stay, the price-to-rent ratio, your home loan rate and what else you could earn on the down payment. Buying usually wins over long horizons; renting can win if you move often or property is very expensive relative to rent. The Rent vs Buy calculator compares them for your numbers.
How do I value a property?
Property value is best estimated from recent sale prices of comparable properties nearby, adjusted for size, floor, age and amenities, not the circle rate or your purchase price. The Property Valuation calculator gives a market-based estimate to sanity-check any deal.
What is a good rental yield in India?
Residential rental yields in India are typically low, around 2 to 4% gross, which is why property is often better for appreciation than income. A yield above 3.5 to 4% is considered decent. The Property ROI calculator shows your yield and total return.
Is real estate a good investment?
Property can build wealth but carries real risks: it is illiquid, ties up large capital, and often becomes an over-concentrated share of net worth. Run the appreciation, yield and rent-vs-buy numbers first, and avoid holding 60 to 80% of your wealth in one property.
