Buying an investment property is one thing, but understanding whether it’s making the return you deserve is another. That’s why calculating your rental yield is so important.
Understanding your rental yield is essential for making informed investment decisions. Whether you’re a first-time investor or expanding your portfolio, our free rental yield calculator helps you determine both gross and net rental yield quickly and accurately.
But for now, the obvious question:
What is rental yield?
Rental yield is a key metric that measures the return on your investment property relative to its cost. It helps you assess the profitability of your property and compare different investment opportunities.
There are two types of rental yield: gross and net.
- Gross rental yield is calculated by dividing the annual rental income by the property’s purchase price and multiplying by 100. It provides a simple snapshot of potential returns—but it doesn’t account for expenses.
- Net rental yield factors in costs such as maintenance, property management fees, council rates and insurance. This gives a more accurate picture of your true return on investment.
Why is rental yield important?
As a property investor, knowing your rental yield helps you:
- Compare properties to identify the best investment opportunities
- Understand the impact of expenses on your return
- Plan for ongoing costs and cash flow management
- Make solid decisions when setting rental prices
Is return and yield the same thing?
No, return and yield are related but not identical. Yield measures the income generated by your property as a percentage of its value, while return considers both rental income and capital growth over time. A high yield property may not necessarily have high long-term capital growth so it’s important to balance both factors in your investment strategy.
