Your investment
REITs and InvITs trade in listed units, unlike direct real estate — you can invest smaller amounts.
Listed Indian REITs and InvITs have generally yielded higher than broad equity indices, though this varies by trust and moves with unit price.
Assumptions
Distributions can also fall if the underlying assets underperform — this is not a floor.

Distributions over time
What a REIT/InvIT distribution is made of
Unlike a company dividend, a REIT or InvIT distribution is typically a mix of components — interest income, dividend income from the underlying special purpose vehicles, and repayment of debt (return of capital) — each taxed differently. This calculator treats the distribution as a single yield figure for simplicity; it does not model the tax composition of any specific trust. Distributions depend on rental or toll income and occupancy or traffic levels, and are not guaranteed or fixed.

Same arithmetic as dividend income, different asset
REIT and InvIT distributions run through the same yield-times-capital calculation as equity dividend income, so this calculator reuses that engine. What differs is the underlying asset and the composition of what you actually receive — worth reading before treating a REIT yield the same way you would a savings account rate.
Not a recommendation
This tool illustrates the arithmetic of a chosen yield assumption. It does not evaluate, rank or recommend any specific REIT or InvIT — that requires looking at the underlying asset quality, occupancy or traffic trends, leverage and distribution history of the specific trust, which is beyond what a calculator can do.

Frequently asked questions
What are REITs and InvITs?
Real Estate Investment Trusts and Infrastructure Investment Trusts are listed vehicles that hold income-producing property or infrastructure assets — office parks, toll roads, power transmission lines — and are required to distribute most of their distributable cash flow to unit holders regularly.
What yield should I assume?
Listed Indian REITs and InvITs have generally offered higher yields than broad equity indices, but the figure varies by trust, moves with the unit price, and is not fixed. Use a range rather than a single confident number, and check the specific trust's recent distribution history if you're researching one.
Are REIT/InvIT distributions guaranteed?
No. They depend on rental income, occupancy, toll or transmission revenue, and the trust's payout policy. Distributions can and do vary period to period, and can fall if the underlying assets underperform.
How are distributions taxed?
Distributions are typically a mix of components — interest, dividend, and return of capital — each taxed differently, and the split varies by trust and by period. This calculator treats the payout as a single yield for simplicity and does not model the tax composition of any specific trust; check the trust's own distribution notices for the actual breakdown.
