How the Rental Yield Calculator Works

Gross rental yield is the annual rent as a percentage of the property’s value: rent divided by value, times 100. A $300,000 property renting for $24,000 a year yields 8%. It’s a fast way to compare the income potential of properties at different prices.

Net yield goes further by subtracting expenses, but gross yield is the quick headline number. Higher yields often mean stronger cash flow, though sometimes higher risk or lower appreciation.

gross rental yield = annual rent ÷ property value × 100

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calculate rental yield?

Divide the annual rent by the property value and multiply by 100. $24,000 on a $300,000 property is 8%.

What is a good rental yield?

Often 5–8% gross, but it varies widely by location and property type.

What is the difference between gross and net yield?

Gross yield uses rent alone; net yield subtracts operating expenses for a truer return.
