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.

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.
