How this property appreciation works
Future value = current value × (1 + annual appreciation)ʸ. Real value discounts that result by the editable inflation rate. Holding and selling costs remain separate.
Worked example

Assumptions used
- Appreciation compounds annually at a constant hypothetical rate.
- Annual holding cost is entered in today’s rupees without escalation.
- Selling cost is a percentage of projected value.
What this estimate does not cover
- Property returns are uneven, location-specific and uncertain.
- Taxes, improvements, vacancy and financing are excluded.
Financial contracts can use day-count, rounding, reset and fee conventions that differ from this educational model. Use your lender’s official schedule for a contractual figure.
