About this calculator
Estimate the total and yearly return on a property you buy, rent out and later sell. Enter what you pay, what you spend, the rent you keep, how fast you expect the value to grow and how long you hold it.
How it works
- Money in is the price plus buying costs plus renovation.
- Value when you sell is (price plus the value the renovation adds) times (1 + yearly growth)^years, less selling costs.
- Profit is the sale money plus the rent you kept, minus the money in. The total return is profit divided by money in, and the yearly return spreads it over the years.

Common questions
Is this a forecast?
No. Property values and rents can move either way. Try several growth rates to see the range.
Why is there no mortgage?
A mortgage changes the money you put in and the interest you pay. This is a cash view to compare options simply.
