About This Rental Yield Calculator
Rental yield is the most important metric for evaluating a buy-to-let investment. Our rental yield calculator gives you both the gross and net figures so you can make an informed decision before committing to a purchase.
Gross yield gives a quick top-line comparison between properties. Net yield - which deducts all running costs - shows what you will actually take home. The difference is significant: a property with an 8% gross yield and high costs may deliver less net income than one with a 6% gross yield and minimal costs.
The Target Yield mode is particularly powerful for property hunters: enter the yield you require and the property's asking price, and the calculator instantly shows whether the current market rent is achievable.
How to Use This Calculator
- 1
Choose gross or net yield
Gross yield uses rental income only. Net yield deducts all costs for a realistic picture. Use Target Yield to work out the rent needed to hit a specific return percentage.
- 2
Enter the property value
Enter the current market value of the property, or the purchase price if you haven't bought yet. This is the denominator in the yield calculation.
- 3
Enter the monthly rent
Enter the actual or expected monthly rent. For the most accurate figure, research comparable properties in the area on Rightmove or Zoopla.
- 4
Add costs for net yield
In Net Yield mode, enter all annual property costs - agent fees, maintenance, insurance, and voids. This gives you the true after-cost return on your investment.
