Capital growth
Property Capital Growth Calculator
Enter a current value, an assumed annual growth rate, and a timeframe to see a compounded projection of what a property could be worth. This is a model, not a forecast.
Results are indicative estimates only and are not financial or investment advice or a forecast. Property values do not grow at a steady rate; actual returns vary with the market, location, and property type, and can fall as well as rise. The projection simply compounds the growth rate you enter. On a discovery call you can request the latest capital growth research for the areas you're considering, and we can introduce you to independent, licensed specialists.
Formula & assumptions
Future value = current value × (1 + annual rate / 100)years. Total growth = future value − current value. The rate is your assumption, held constant throughout the model; this is not a forecast.
Hypothetical worked example
At a current value of $700,000, an assumed 4% annual rate for 10 years gives $700,000 × 1.04¹⁰ = $1,036,171 (rounded to whole dollars), with $336,171 total modelled growth. At −2% for one year the value is $686,000, a $14,000 fall. Neither scenario is a market prediction.
Common questions
Is this a forecast?
No. The same user-assumed rate is compounded every year. It does not estimate future market performance, selling costs, tax or income.
Can I model a fall or no growth?
Yes. For example, −2% models an annual decline; 0% leaves value unchanged. Zero years returns the current value. Negative years are not accepted.
Can I use fractional years?
Yes, where the formula gives a finite real-number result. Negative rates are not capped, but a rate below −100% and fractional years cannot produce a real-number result in this model.
