Same cash flows in fixed deposits (your assumed rate)

7%

Assumes the same amounts are placed in fixed deposits on the same dates (down payment at the start, then an amount equal to each EMI every month), compounded quarterly. A single FD does not accept monthly top-ups; this models a series of deposits or a recurring deposit.

What this tool does

It works through one scenario you define: purchase price, an appreciation rate you assume and an optional loan, and compares it with fixed deposits made on the same dates at a rate you assume. Both sides are annualised as a cash-flow IRR.

What it does not do

It does not forecast prices, rents or interest rates. It leaves out capital gains tax, TDS on FD interest, stamp duty, registration, brokerage, maintenance, property tax and rental income.
