Rent increase. Decree No. 43 of 2013 sets the most a landlord can raise the rent at renewal. If the current rent is up to 10% below the RERA index average for similar units there is no increase; 11–20% below allows 5%; 21–30% allows 10%; 31–40% allows 15%; and more than 40% below allows 20%. Enter your rent and the index average and the calculator shows which band applies and the highest new rent.
Cheque schedule. Rent in Dubai is usually paid by post-dated cheques. Choose 1, 2, 4, 6 or 12 cheques and the calculator splits the annual rent and gives a date for each one, so the amounts and dates written into the contract match the cheques handed over.
Security deposit. The law lets a landlord take a deposit but does not fix the amount (Article 20 of Law No. 26 of 2007). The calculator shows the amounts most contracts use — about 5% of annual rent unfurnished and 10% furnished — so you have a starting point to negotiate from.
Move-in cost. Adds up what a new tenancy costs on day one: first rent cheque, deposit, Ejari registration (AED 177.75 through the Dubai REST app, AED 220 at a trustee centre, per the DLD), DEWA deposit and any agent commission.
The calculators give guidance from the published rules. The figure that binds you is the one in your signed, registered contract — and for rent increases, the average shown by the official RERA rental index.
