How do you use the future property value calculator?
- Enter what the property is worth today, the yearly growth you want to test and how many years ahead to look. Part years such as 2.5 work.
- Enter an inflation rate to see the future value in today’s money. Under “Add a target value” you can enter a price you hope to reach.
- Read the future value, a range at 2 points lower and higher growth, and the growth needed to hit your target.
How do you estimate a property’s future value?
Grow today’s value at a steady yearly rate: future value = value now × (1 + growth)^years. The hard part is the growth rate. It depends on the locality, the kind of property, new supply, infrastructure and interest rates, and it changes from year to year. That is why the calculator shows a range, and why the result is an estimate to plan with, not a forecast.
Inflation matters too. A flat that doubles in price over 10 years has gained less in real terms if everything else has also become 60% dearer. The calculator shows the future value in today’s money so you can see the real gain.
The formulas
Value now × (1 + growth)^yearsSame formula at growth − 2 and growth + 2 pointsFuture value ÷ (1 + inflation)^years(Target ÷ value now)^(1 ÷ years) − 1Worked example: ₹ 1 crore flat, 7% a year, 10 years
1.07 to the power of 10 is about 1.967, so the flat would be worth ₹ 1,96,71,514. At 5% it would be ₹ 1,62,88,946, and at 9% ₹ 2,36,73,637. With 5% inflation, ₹ 1,96,71,514 buys what ₹ 1,20,76,603 buys today. To reach ₹ 2 crore in 10 years, the flat would need to grow 7.18% a year.
Worked example: a fall in value
Prices can fall. At −3% a year for 5 years, a ₹ 1 crore flat would be worth ₹ 85,87,340.
Future value of ₹ 1 crore at different growth rates
| Growth | 5 years | 10 years | 15 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4% | ₹ 1,21,66,529 | ₹ 1,48,02,443 | ₹ 1,80,09,435 |
| 6% | ₹ 1,33,82,256 | ₹ 1,79,08,477 | ₹ 2,39,65,582 |
| 8% | ₹ 1,46,93,281 | ₹ 2,15,89,250 | ₹ 3,17,21,691 |
| 10% | ₹ 1,61,05,100 | ₹ 2,59,37,425 | ₹ 4,17,72,482 |
What should you keep in mind?
- Growth is an assumption. Look at what similar homes nearby have actually sold for over several years, not listing prices.
- The value here is before selling costs and capital gains tax. Check the tax with your Chartered Accountant before you sell.
- For the full return including rent and buying costs, use the inflation-adjusted property returns calculator.
