How the Rental Yield Calculator works
Gross yield = annual rent ÷ property price × 100. Net yield = (annual rent after vacancy − operating expenses) ÷ (price + buying and renovation costs) × 100. Operating expenses include property tax, insurance, maintenance, and management, but not mortgage payments. Gross yield is handy for a quick comparison, while net yield shows what the property really earns. Example: A $300,000 property with $15,000 of buying costs, $1,800 monthly rent, $6,000 of expenses, and 5 percent vacancy has a gross yield of 7.20 percent and a net yield of 4.61 percent, with NOI of $14,520.
