Understanding rental yield

Why use the Rental Yield Calculator?

If you're unsure whether a rental property is worth the investment, this calculator gives you a quick and clear answer. Instead of relying on guesswork, you can simulate rental income and expense scenarios and compare different properties or countries side by side. It's the perfect tool for anyone planning to build a rental portfolio internationally.

Gross Rental Yield

Gross rental yield is calculated by taking your expected annual rental income, dividing it by the property's purchase price, and multiplying by 100. It shows your property's raw income potential without factoring in any expenses. A higher gross yield typically means better short-term cash flow, making this a key metric for high-demand rental areas.

Net Rental Yield

Net rental yield provides a more realistic measure of profitability. It accounts for recurring costs like repairs, property taxes, or local landlord fees. By subtracting these annual expenses from your rental income before calculating the yield, you get a clearer picture of your actual return. This is especially important when investing in countries with high property management or maintenance costs.
