Freehold
Leasehold
Leasehold: You own the property for a fixed term (typically 99 years), not the land. Resale can be more complex and appreciation lower than freehold. International investors generally prefer freehold zones.

About You
Your tax residency affects your investment return significantly.
EU Resident
Non-EU
Spanish Resident
This significantly affects your tax calculation
Note: Non-EU residents pay 24% tax on net rental income. EU/EEA residents pay 19% on net income. Both can deduct expenses. The rate difference typically amounts to €500-1,500/year depending on the property. Following the July 2025 Audiencia Nacional ruling, non-EU residents now have the same deduction rights as EU residents.

0% Income Tax on Rental Income
Dubai charges zero income tax on rental income — regardless of your nationality or residency status. Every dirham of rental profit is yours to keep. This applies to short-term, long-term, and mixed strategies.
0% Capital Gains Tax too. When you sell, you keep the entire profit — no CGT, no municipal gains tax, no withholding. The UAE has no personal income or capital gains tax system.
Financing
Cash or mortgage changes your real return significantly. We model the exact impact.
Cash (no mortgage)

Cash purchase — no mortgage costs
Your ROI is calculated on the full purchase price plus buying costs. No interest payments, no LTV constraints. ROE equals ROI since all equity is your own cash.

How to calculate the real return on Spanish rental property
Most yield figures you see online are gross yield — annual rent divided by purchase price. The real return is significantly lower once you factor in purchase costs (8-9% on top), annual running costs, and taxes. This calculator does the full calculation for your specific situation, including regional tax rates and residency status.
Property purchase costs in Spain by region
Transfer tax (ITP) varies from 6% to 11% depending on the autonomous community. Andalucia charges 7%, Madrid 6%, Catalonia 10-11%. On top of ITP, budget for notary (~€850), land registry (~€550), gestoria (~€400), and lawyer fees (typically 1% + IVA). Total buying costs are usually 8-9% above the listing price.
How residency status affects your rental income tax in Spain
EU/EEA residents pay 19% income tax on net rental profit — after deducting expenses like community fees, insurance, IBI, maintenance, and property management. Following the July 2025 Audiencia Nacional ruling, non-EU residents (including British buyers post-Brexit) now also deduct expenses, but pay 24% on net income. The rate difference typically amounts to €500-1,500 per year depending on the property — a significant improvement from the previous system where non-EU investors paid 24% on gross with no deductions.
What is IRR and why it matters for property investment
IRR (Internal Rate of Return) measures your annualised return accounting for the timing of every cash flow — purchase costs going out, rental income coming in, and eventual sale proceeds. Unlike simple yield, IRR lets you compare property directly against index funds or other investments on equal terms. A property with 3.7% net yield can have a much higher IRR if you are using leverage.
Gross yield vs net yield vs ROE — what's the difference?
Gross yield is annual rent divided by purchase price — the number agents quote. Net yield subtracts all running costs and taxes. ROE (Return on Equity) measures your return on the cash you actually invested — if you used a mortgage, this can be significantly higher than net yield because of leverage. This calculator shows all three so you can compare properly.
Short-term vs long-term rental in Spain
Short-term (Airbnb) typically generates higher gross income but comes with higher costs — cleaning, platform fees, furnishing, management — and increasing regulatory risk. Barcelona has frozen new tourist licences. Long-term rental has lower returns but more stability and simpler tax treatment. Mixed strategies (rent short-term in summer, long-term in winter) can optimise returns but add complexity.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are the tax calculations?
We use official tax rates for all 17 Spanish autonomous communities, updated annually. This includes transfer tax, document tax, non-resident income tax, and annual property taxes — each calculated per your specific region. Rates reflect 2025-2026 legislation. Always verify final figures with a local tax advisor before purchasing.
Is the calculator really free?
Yes. The full calculation with accurate tax logic, rental income estimates, and investment comparison is completely free. For your investor roadmap — 10-year projections, exit scenarios, and strategy comparison — a one-time payment of €4.99 applies.
Which Spanish regions are covered?
All 17 autonomous communities — from Andalucía and Cataluña to the Balearic and Canary Islands. Each region has its own transfer tax rates, and we calculate them individually. Within each region, you can select from 3 price zones for more accurate rental estimates.
How is this different from a spreadsheet?
Spreadsheets require you to research every tax rate, know the difference between EU and non-EU investor treatment, and keep up with regulation changes. PropROI does all of this automatically — with pre-filled regional defaults, occupancy benchmarks, and instant calculations you can adjust in real time.
Do you share my data with third parties?
Only if you explicitly opt in. When downloading your report, you'll see optional checkboxes to hear from local property agencies or mortgage brokers. These are unchecked by default. Your email and calculation data are never shared without your consent.
