Rental Yield Calculator
Calculate gross and net rental yield percentage for a property.
📐 Gross Yield = (Annual Rent ÷ Property Value) × 100 · Net Yield = ((Annual Rent − Annual Expenses) ÷ Property Value) × 100
Rental yield measures the annual return from a rental property as a percentage of its purchase price — the key metric for property investors. A gross yield of 3% means the property earns 3% of its value in annual rent. After maintenance, vacancy, taxes, and management fees, the net yield is often 1.5–2.5% in Indian cities. This calculator helps investors compare properties and assess the true return.
📋 How to Use This Calculator
Enter the property purchase price, monthly rental income, annual maintenance costs, property tax, insurance, and expected vacancy rate. The calculator shows gross yield, net yield, gross rental multiplier (years to recover investment in rent), and compares the yield to alternative investments (FD rate, equity returns).
