Estimate, not a guarantee. Real estate assumes stable occupancy and no vacancy years; markets assume the long-run historical average, which real years never match exactly — some years are sharply negative. This tool is for illustration only, not investment or tax advice. Consult a licensed advisor before committing capital.

FAQ

What investors ask

No. This calculator applies public historical averages to your own numbers so you can see the mechanics of compounding side by side. It is not personalized investment, legal, or tax advice, and WorldIntraday is not a broker-dealer. Speak to a licensed financial advisor before allocating capital, and to a Thai tax advisor before renting out property.
The default 4–8% range matches WorldIntraday's own rental yield calculator for long-term leases in Pattaya, after property management, maintenance, and vacancy. Short-term (Airbnb-style) yields can run higher but need active management — see the dedicated Rental Yield Calculator for that scenario.
It's the average annual return over many decades, smoothing out individual bad years (which can be sharply negative) and good years. A real portfolio experiences that average unevenly — the order the returns arrive in (sequence-of-returns risk) matters, especially if you need to withdraw during a downturn. Real estate is far less volatile year to year, but far less liquid if you need cash quickly.
Not yet. WorldIntraday is finalizing a referral partnership with a licensed broker so the Markets track can launch as an Introducing-Broker relationship — we never hold client funds ourselves. Join the early-access waitlist above and we'll reach out the moment it's live.
Foreigners can buy condominium units directly (up to 49% of a building's total floor area) and lease land or villas long-term; see WorldIntraday Property for the details on a specific listing. Cross-border brokerage access depends on your residency and the broker's own onboarding rules — that's exactly what the licensed-partner referral above is meant to sort out for you.
