How to Use This Rental Yield Calculator
Our free rental yield calculator computes both gross and net rental yield for any property. Enter the purchase price, monthly rent, and expenses to see your investment returns at a glance.
Gross rental yield is annual rent divided by property price — a quick comparison metric. Net yield subtracts operating expenses (taxes, insurance, maintenance, vacancy) for a more accurate picture.
Use rental yield to compare properties in different markets. Higher yields mean better cash flow, but may indicate higher risk. Balance yield with appreciation potential and market stability.

Frequently Asked Questions about Rental Yield
What is a good rental yield?
5-10% is considered solid. Higher yields (8-10%) indicate higher risk or less desirable locations. Lower yields (4-6%) suggest premium locations.
How do I calculate gross vs net rental yield?
Gross yield = (annual rent / purchase price) x 100. Net yield = (annual rent - expenses) / purchase price x 100. Net yield is more accurate for investment decisions.
How does rental yield affect investment decisions?
Rental yield helps compare properties independent of financing. Higher yields mean better cash flow. Use it alongside cap rate and cash-on-cash return for complete analysis.
How do I calculate rental yield for an existing property?
Use your current market rent (not what you pay) and current property value. Gross yield = (annual rent / current value) x 100.
What is the difference between gross and net yield?
Gross yield only considers rental income vs price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses, providing a more accurate picture of profitability.
