Land Investment

Land purchase, holding cost and exit projection.

What is Land Investment?

Land purchase, holding cost and exit projection.

What does the Land Investment do?

The Land Investment takes your own numbers and projects the result using the method described below, showing every assumption rather than a single opaque figure.

How this is calculated — the formula

Land generates no income, so unlike rental property its entire return has to come from appreciation while holding costs (tax, security, maintenance) drain cash every year with nothing offsetting them. Effective CAGR is calculated on price + total holding costs, not just the purchase price — this is why it's meaningfully lower than the headline appreciation rate.

Tax treatment

Land held over 2 years qualifies for LTCG at 12.5% without indexation (or 20% with indexation if acquired before July 2024, whichever is lower) — same regime as property, but land carries none of property's Section 24 rental-income deductions since it typically generates no income.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Land Investment's result a fixed outcome?

No — every figure here is an illustrative projection based on the assumptions you enter, not a promised or fixed return. Change any input to see how the result moves.

Is tax already accounted for?

Land held over 2 years qualifies for LTCG at 12.5% without indexation (or 20% with indexation if acquired before July 2024, whichever is lower) — same regime as property, but land carries none of property's Section 24 rental-income deductions since it typically generates no income.
