How to read the result
Gross yield is the quick top-line number investors often use to compare listings fast. Net yield is the more realistic figure because it removes recurring costs that eat into the rent.
If two properties have similar gross yield but very different service charges or maintenance costs, the net yield usually tells you which one is stronger as a long-term rental.
When investors look at rental yield first
Rental yield is often the fastest way to compare one income property with another before you get pulled into financing details. It tells you how much rent the property produces relative to its value.
Why net yield matters more than headline rent
A property can look strong on the listing price and rent alone, then look very different once service charges, management, vacancy, insurance, and maintenance are included. Net yield helps you see that gap.
Use this page as a first filter, not the final investment model
This calculator is best for quick screening. Once a property makes the shortlist, move to a deeper cash flow model that includes financing, tax, reserves, and exit assumptions.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good rental yield?
There is no single good number for every market. A stronger yield in one city can still be a weaker deal if vacancy, maintenance, or tenant risk is much higher. Use yield to compare similar properties in the same market, not as a universal pass-or-fail rule.
What is the difference between gross yield and net yield?
Gross yield uses the annual rent before costs. Net yield subtracts annual operating expenses first. Net yield is usually the more realistic measure because it reflects what the property keeps after recurring costs.
Should mortgage payments be included in net yield?
No. Net yield is usually calculated before financing. Mortgage payments affect your cash flow, but yield is meant to show how the property performs on its own.
Which expenses should I include?
Include the recurring annual costs tied to owning and operating the property, such as maintenance, service charges, insurance, vacancy allowance, management fees, and similar outgoings.
