About Rental Yield Calculator

Gross yield is annual rent over property value; net yield deducts running costs such as maintenance, tax, insurance and management. Net yield is the honest figure and is typically one to two points below gross.

Formula

Rental yield

Gross = rent / value; net = (rent - expenses) / value

Frequently Asked Questions

What should be counted as expenses?

Property tax, insurance, maintenance, society charges, management fees and a realistic vacancy allowance.

Is a high yield always better?

Not on its own. High-yield locations often show weaker capital growth, so total return is what matters.
