FAQs

What is rental yield, and why is it important?

Rental yield measures the return on a property compared to its value. It’s important because it helps investors understand how much income they can expect relative to what they’ve paid for the asset. A healthy yield makes it easier to cover costs and improve overall cash flow.

What’s the difference between gross rental yield and net rental yield?

Gross rental yield only considers income versus property value. Net rental yield goes further by subtracting expenses like insurance, rates and maintenance, providing a clearer view of actual returns.

What factors can affect my rental yield over time?

Rental yield can shift with changes in tenant demand, interest rates, property condition and broader economic trends. Regularly reviewing your portfolio helps you stay ahead of these changes.

How does the rental yield calculator work?

The calculator divides the annual rental income by the property’s value to produce a yield percentage. This simple calculation helps you quickly compare different opportunities without needing to crunch the numbers manually.

Can I use the calculator for both residential and commercial properties?

Yes. The rental yield calculator works for both residential and commercial assets. Just remember that costs and returns can differ significantly between the two, so context is key.

How accurate is the rental yield estimate from this calculator?

The estimate is reliable based on the figures you provide, but it doesn’t account for every factor, such as vacancies or unexpected expenses. Use it as a guide and follow up with professional advice for precise planning.

Can the calculator help compare different property investments?

Yes. By entering figures for multiple properties, you can compare yields side by side. This makes it easier to identify which opportunities are best aligned with your goals.
