What This Calculator Does
This calculator computes gross and net rental yield for investment properties. It helps landlords and investors understand the annual return from rental income relative to the property value.
The Formula
Gross yield uses total rental income without deductions. Net yield subtracts annual operating expenses (maintenance, insurance, management fees, vacancy allowance) for a more realistic return figure.
Step-by-Step Example
Enter property value
The purchase price or current market value. Example: $250,000.
Enter monthly rent
The monthly rental income. Example: $1,800/month = $21,600/year.
Enter annual expenses
Operating costs like maintenance, insurance, property management. Example: $5,400/year.
Review yields
Gross yield = 8.6%. Net yield = 6.5%.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using gross yield alone to make decisions. Net yield gives a much more realistic picture.
Forgetting vacancy allowance. Even good properties may have 5-10% vacancy per year.
Not including property management fees (typically 8-12% of rent) if using a manager.
