Measuring Rental Yield on an Investment Property
Overview
Rental yield shows how much annual rental income a property generates as a percentage of its value. Gross yield ignores costs; net yield subtracts operating expenses for a truer picture of return. This calculator gives you both from the property value, monthly rent, and annual expenses — all computed in your browser.
How to Use (Step by Step)
- 1
Enter the property value
Purchase price or current market value.
- 2
Enter the monthly rent
Realistic achievable rent, not the optimistic asking figure.
- 3
Add annual expenses
Maintenance, tax, insurance, and management. Net yield then reflects your actual return.
How It Works
Gross yield = (annual rent ÷ property value) × 100. Net yield = ((annual rent − annual expenses) ÷ property value) × 100. Annual rent is the monthly rent times twelve. Expenses include maintenance, insurance, property tax, management fees, and vacancy allowance. The gap between gross and net yield reveals how much running costs eat into your return.
When to Use This
Comparing the income potential of two rental properties. Checking whether rent covers costs with margin to spare. Deciding if a property's price is justified by the rent it can command.
Frequently Asked Questions
It varies by market, but many investors look for a net yield of 5% or more. High-price cities often show lower yields offset by stronger capital growth.
