About this calculator
Rental yield compares a year of rent with the price of the property. This calculator shows the gross yield and the net yield after empty periods and running costs, so you can compare properties fairly.
How it works
- Gross yield is yearly rent divided by the price, times 100.
- Rent collected is yearly rent times (1 minus the empty time divided by 100).
- Net yield is (rent collected minus yearly running costs) divided by the price, times 100. Include buying costs in the price for the most honest figure.

Common questions
What is a good rental yield?
It depends on the country, the city and your costs, so compare with similar properties near you rather than a single number.
Are mortgage payments included?
No. Yield looks at the property itself. Financing and tax change what you personally earn.
