How this tool works
About the rental yield calculator
Yield expresses annual rent as a percentage of the property's value. The gross figure uses rent alone; the net figure subtracts the running costs you enter, which is usually the more meaningful of the two when comparing properties.
The gap between the two numbers is the point of the exercise. Two properties can show a similar gross yield and behave very differently once maintenance charges, management fees and vacancy are taken into account.
What this result does not tell you
- Yield says nothing about capital growth, tenant demand or how quickly a property lets.
- A high yield on paper can reflect risk or cost that the inputs do not capture.
- Rent and value are your assumptions, not a valuation or a market rate.
