This Rental Yield Calculator computes both gross and net rental yield for an investment property — gross yield from the property price and annual rent alone, and net yield after subtracting annual expenses like maintenance, property tax, insurance, and management fees. Yield is a standard way to compare the income-generating potential of different properties independent of price appreciation. Enter your property price, annual rent, and annual expenses to see both figures instantly. Everything runs locally in your browser; no financial details are uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between gross and net rental yield?
Gross yield is annual rent divided by property price; net yield subtracts annual operating expenses (maintenance, tax, insurance, management fees) from rent first, giving a more realistic return figure.
What counts as an annual expense?
Common expenses include property management fees, maintenance and repairs, property tax, insurance, and vacancy allowance — mortgage interest is typically excluded from yield calculations since yield measures the property's own income potential.
What's considered a good rental yield?
This varies significantly by market and property type; many investors look for 5-8% gross yield as a rough benchmark, but local market norms and property appreciation potential matter too.
Does this account for property value appreciation?
No, rental yield measures income return only; total investment return would also include any change in property value over time.
Should I use gross or net yield to compare properties?
Net yield gives a more accurate comparison since it accounts for ongoing costs that vary between properties, while gross yield is a quicker, rougher first-pass comparison.
