Rental Yield Calculator

The Rental Yield Calculator turns a property price and its rent into the two numbers that matter: gross yield (rent ÷ price) and net yield (rent minus expenses ÷ price). Add your annual operating costs to see real, expense-adjusted return and the expense ratio dragging it down.

• Gross yield: Headline rent-to-price ratio.
• Net yield: After operating expenses.
• Net income: Annual cash left after costs.
• Expense ratio: Costs as a share of rent.
• Export: CSV, JSON or plain text.

1. Price & rent: Property value and monthly rent.
2. Expenses: Annual operating costs (tax, insurance, maintenance, management, vacancy).
3. Read: Gross and net yield plus annual net income.
4. Export.

Example 1 — Strong yield. $250k price, $2,000/mo rent, $4k expenses: net yield ~ 5.6%.

Example 2 — Weak yield. Same rent at $400k price drops net yield under 4%.

Example 3 — High costs. Management + maintenance cut net yield sharply.

Example 4 — Vacancy. Modeling 8% vacancy lowers effective rent.

Example 5 — Expense ratio. 35% of rent going to costs is a warning sign.

• Honest return: Net yield beats the headline gross.
• Spot leaks: Expense ratio shows where cash disappears.
• Compare deals: Standardize yield across properties.
• Private: No account, no upload, nothing stored.
