CalcRealty frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about the CalcRealty real estate calculator app
What is CalcRealty and how can it help me?
CalcRealty is a real estate calculator app built for the Egyptian property market, for investors, brokers and home buyers. It has 6 calculators: down payment and installments, return on investment (ROI), annual real estate return on equity (ROE), total unit price, price per square metre, and property area.
How do I calculate the return on a real estate investment?
Open the ROI calculator in the app and enter the property details and how you will pay (cash or installments), then the expected rental income and preparation costs, then the holding period and the expected sale value. The app shows an initial estimate, and you can improve it by adding purchase and sale fees, taxes and growth assumptions.
Can I calculate the installments of an apartment or unit?
Yes. In the down payment and installment calculator you enter the unit price, the down payment percentage, the installment period and the annual interest rate if there is one, and choose fixed or reducing installments. The app calculates the installment and shows a detailed payment plan that you can export as PDF or share.
How is CalcRealty different from other real estate apps?
Most real estate apps focus on listing and searching for units. CalcRealty focuses on the calculations themselves: installments, returns, price per square metre and area, in Arabic and English, built around how property is priced in Egypt. The calculators work offline.
Does the app work on iPhone and Windows?
The app is available today on Android from Google Play. The iPhone and Windows versions are in development and not available yet.
How do I calculate the area of a villa or house with the app?
The property area calculator adds up closed floors (ground, upper floors, roof rooms, basement), open areas (terrace, garden, pool) and covered structures (garage, carport, annexes), and calculates the total built area and the plot coverage ratio. The reference coverage you enter is for comparison only and is not legal advice.
Is the app useful for developers and sales teams?
Yes. Sales teams and developers can use the calculators to show payment plans to clients, work out the total unit price and the price per square metre, and compare the expected return of several scenarios, then export and share the results.
