How long until your property pays for itself?
Most yield calculators stop at a percentage. This one asks how many floors you actually let, what each earns, and how long the building takes to return what it cost.

Leave out any floor you live in yourself — only let floors earn.

Annual rent
₹7.6 L
net of ₹77,000 vacancy and ₹84,700 running costs
On rent alone this takes about 26 years to return what the property cost. Counting capital appreciation as well, the figure drops to roughly 8 years — which is the number that actually reflects how Gurugram property has paid back, because appreciation, not rent, does most of the work.
Running costs are estimated as a flat share of collected rent rather than your actual maintenance, tax and repair bills. Appreciation is an assumption you set, not a forecast. Treat the result as a planning estimate.
Letting by the day, not the year
What a farmhouse in this belt actually earns
A farmhouse here does not let on an annual tenancy. It lets by the day — a party, a wedding, a shoot, a weekend — and a well-run one-acre property in a good pocket does roughly six to ten days a month across the year, heavily concentrated between October and March. These pages set out what each occasion pays and what it costs to deliver.
