Quick guide

How to use this calculator

  2. Use the labels to match the calculator's stated income, cost, area, or capacity convention.
  3. Read the assumptions beside the result before using it in an investment comparison.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Gross yield = annual gross rent ÷ property cost × 100%. Net yield = (annual gross rent − annual operating costs) ÷ property cost × 100%.

Entered fixed decimals use exact rational arithmetic. Money rounds only for display; a supported nonzero amount is never replaced by a misleading zero.

Worked example

Worked example

Annual rent of 24,000, operating costs of 6,000, and a 300,000 property cost produce an 8% gross yield and 6% net yield.

Gross yield = annual gross rent ÷ property cost × 100%. Net yield = (annual gross rent − annual operating costs) ÷ property cost × 100%.

Supported inputs

Precision and limits

Visible input limits

Amounts accept up to 30 digits and 12 decimal places and are capped at 1e12 per input. Rates are capped at 1000%; signed value-change rates cannot be below −100%.

International scope

No currency, tax regime, tenancy law, lender threshold, local market database, appraisal standard, or jurisdiction-specific fee is assumed.

Decision boundary

The result is an arithmetic scenario based on visitor-entered figures, not an appraisal, forecast, lending decision, legal determination, or investment recommendation.

Calculator-specific assumptions

Financing, income tax, appreciation, acquisition fees, and sale proceeds are excluded. Enter them elsewhere when evaluating a complete investment.
