Formula explanation

How this calculator works

Core formula

gross yield = annual rent / property price * 100; net yield = (annual rent - annual costs) / property price * 100

The calculator annualizes monthly rent, then compares that income with the property price before and after recurring operating costs.

  • Gross yield ignores annual costs, while net yield includes them.
  • Financing costs are usually evaluated separately from property operating yield.
