How is it calculated?
- Enter the property's price and the monthly rent it can earn.
- Add the monthly costs the landlord pays (building fees, upkeep), if any.
- The gross and net yearly yield and the payback period are calculated.
Gross yield = Monthly rent × 12 ÷ Price × 100
Net yield = (Monthly rent − Monthly costs) × 12 ÷ Price × 100
Payback = Price ÷ (Monthly rent − Monthly costs), in months
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between gross and net yield?
Gross yield compares only the yearly rent with the price. Net yield first deducts the monthly costs the landlord pays (building fees, upkeep).
What does the payback period mean?
How many years the rent left after costs takes to add up to the price. This tool does not account for rent increases or empty months.
Are title deed costs included?
No, only the price you enter is used. You can see purchase costs in the title deed fee calculator.
