Meet Shahzad Arsi
I'm Shahzad Arsi, the founder of PropCalc and a passionate advocate for making real estate calculations accessible to everyone. With years of experience in real estate, finance, and digital marketing, I created PropCalc to bridge the gap between complex real estate math and practical decision-making.
My journey in real estate began with a simple frustration: why were the most important financial calculations so difficult to understand and use? Whether you're a first-time homebuyer trying to figure out what you can afford, an agent explaining commission splits to clients, or an investor analyzing potential returns, the math should be straightforward and reliable.
Our Mission
To democratize real estate calculations by providing professional-grade tools that are both accurate and easy to use, helping everyone make more informed property decisions.
Why I Built PropCalc
After working with countless real estate professionals and property investors, I noticed the same challenges everywhere:
- Complicated spreadsheets that required advanced Excel skills
- Generic calculators that didn't account for real-world variables
- Lack of education about what the numbers actually mean
- Time-consuming calculations that slowed down decision-making
PropCalc was born from the belief that accurate calculations shouldn't require a finance degree. Every tool we build focuses on three core principles: accuracy, simplicity, and education.
Our Values & Approach
Accuracy First
Every calculation is built using industry-standard formulas and tested against real-world scenarios to ensure reliability.
User-Focused Design
We design for real people making real decisions, not just financial professionals with advanced training.
Education Focused
We don't just give you numbers—we explain what they mean and how to use them in your decision-making.
Transparency
Our methodologies are open, our assumptions are clear, and our calculations are always explainable.
My Background & Expertise
My professional journey combines real estate experience with digital innovation. I've worked with:
- Real estate agents looking to better serve their clients with accurate calculations
- Property investors analyzing deals and optimizing their portfolios
- First-time homebuyers navigating the complexity of home purchase decisions
- Financial advisors helping clients understand real estate as an investment
This diverse experience has given me insight into the real challenges people face when making property decisions. It's not just about having the right formula—it's about presenting information in a way that leads to confident, informed choices.

- Professional accuracy - Built using the same formulas and standards used by industry professionals
- Practical application - Designed for actual decision-making, not just theoretical calculations
- Continuous improvement - Regular updates based on user feedback and market changes
