How the Rental Yield Calculator Works
Rental yield measures the annual cash return generated by an investment property relative to its purchase price, calculated on both a gross and net operating cost basis.
Formula
Gross Yield (%) = (Annual Rent / Property Value) × 100, Net Yield (%) = ((Annual Rent - Operating Costs) / Property Value) × 100
Gross yield measures top-line rent, while net yield factors in property taxes, insurance, HOA fees, and maintenance.
Calculation Example
A property bought for $300,000 generating $2,000/month ($24,000/year) with $4,000 in annual expenses has an 8.0% Gross Yield and a 6.67% Net Yield.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Gross and Net Rental Yield?
Gross yield only compares rental income to property value, whereas Net yield subtracts all operating costs (taxes, insurance, maintenance, management) for a realistic profit metric.
