About the Rental Yield Calculator
Calculates gross rental yield (annual rent ÷ property value) and net rental yield (annual rent minus operating costs, ÷ property value) — the two standard, commonly confused rental-property return metrics.
- Enter the property's value and the monthly rent it commands.
- Enter estimated annual operating costs — not the mortgage.
- Read both gross and net yield.
A $350,000 property renting for $2,200/month with $6,500/year in operating costs: gross yield of 7.54%, net yield of 5.69%.
| Metric | Includes operating costs? | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Gross yield | No | Quick comparison across listings |
| Net yield | Yes | More realistic return estimate |
Gross yield is what most listing sites quote — simple but ignores every ongoing cost. Net yield subtracts operating costs and is always the lower, more realistic figure. Neither includes mortgage payments or purchase/closing costs.
- • Always check net yield, not just gross.
- • Neither yield figure includes mortgage financing.
- • Compare yields within the same market and property type.
