The Property Appreciation / ROI Calculator projects a property’s future value from an appreciation rate and holding period, then computes total cash invested and the resulting ROI — including purchase closing costs, improvements and selling costs. It is the clean way to estimate the return on a property play driven by price growth.

Examples
Example 1 — Steady 3%. $400k, 20% down, 10 years at 3%: value ~$538k.

Example 3 — 6% run. Strong growth lifts ROI sharply.
Example 4 — High selling cost. 7% selling cost trims net profit.
Example 5 — Short hold. 2 years at 4% with costs can barely break even.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ROI here?
Net profit (future value minus all costs) divided by total cash invested (down payment, closing, improvements).
What costs are included?
Purchase closing costs, capital improvements and selling costs are all subtracted from gain.
How is future value found?
Current value compounded at the appreciation rate over the holding period.
Does it include rent?
Not unless you add it; this is a price-appreciation ROI. Use cash-on-cash for income.
What is annualized ROI?
The per-year return that would compound to the total ROI over the holding period.
Is appreciation guaranteed?
No — it is an assumption; markets go down too. Model a range.
Is my data stored?
