Gross and Net Rental Yield Calculator
Annualizes monthly rent, subtracts operating expenses for NOI, and divides by property price for gross and net yield percents.
Limitation: Educational estimate only—not investment advice or a return guarantee.
How to Calculate Rental Yield
Enter purchase or current property value, expected monthly rent, and annual operating costs in one currency.
Choose a display currency; the calculator does not convert currencies.
Mortgage payments are not operating expenses
Debt service belongs in a cash-on-cash or property ROI worksheet, not in the operating-expense field used for net yield.
What Gross and Net Yield Mean
Gross yield uses annualized rent only. Net yield uses net operating income after the expenses you enter. Neither figure is a forecast of occupancy, rent growth, or resale value.
Rental Yield Examples
Three-hundred-thousand property
Entered rent and expenses
Yield percents
Rent × 12 = 24,000; after 6,000 expenses, NOI is 18,000; yields are 8% and 6% of price.
Lower rent scenario
Entered rent and expenses
Yield percents
1,500 × 12 = 18,000; NOI = 15,000; 18,000/250,000 = 7.2% and 15,000/250,000 = 6%.
Stress-test vacancy
Raise operating expenses or lower rent to see how net yield changes before relying on a single scenario.
