Property Exit & Required Selling Price Calculator
Work backwards from your target return to the selling price and PSF you need — or test whether a proposed future sale price actually makes the investment worthwhile.
Calculate Your Required Selling Price
Entry price is only half the investment decision. This calculator includes acquisition costs, cumulative net rent, selling costs and Seller’s Stamp Duty to estimate the future price required to break even or achieve your target annualised return.
Six Exit Metrics That Matter
The future sale price needed after selling costs and SSD to achieve the selected return hurdle.
Required selling price divided by unit size. This is the number to compare with realistic future comparable PSF.
The approximate sale price needed to recover your cost basis after cumulative net rental income.
A dated cash-flow return measure that accounts for when rental income and sale proceeds are actually received.
The calculator can estimate residential SSD automatically from the acquisition and disposal dates.
Monthly net rental income is recognised through the holding period, reducing the exit price required for a given IRR.
Read the Exit Like an Investor
A required exit is only credible if future buyers can realistically afford and justify that PSF against competing projects.
Strong rental income helps, but it should not be used to justify an unrealistic purchase price or exit assumption.
Run 3%, 5% and 7% target property IRRs to see how sensitive the investment is to your required return.
For residential properties acquired on or after 4 July 2025, the calculator uses 16% if sold within one year, 12% in the second year, 8% in the third year and 4% in the fourth year; no SSD is modelled after four years. Earlier acquisition periods use the corresponding historical tiers. Always verify the actual liability and any exemption or remission with IRAS before sale.
Price. Finance. Rent. Exit.
A property investment should pass all four tests: the entry price should be defensible, financing sustainable, rental economics realistic and the required exit achievable.
Educational estimate only. Actual returns depend on transaction dates, taxes, financing, rent, expenses and market conditions. Verify tax treatment and legal obligations before acting.
