What is Rental Yield?
Rental yield measures the annual return on an investment property as a percentage of the property's value. Gross yield uses rent only; net yield deducts expenses like management fees, insurance, rates, and vacancy costs.
How this calculator works
Enter the property value, weekly rent, and your annual expenses. The calculator computes gross yield (annual rent ÷ property value × 100) and net yield (net income after expenses ÷ property value × 100). The vacancy rate adjustment accounts for periods when the property is empty between tenants — typically 2-4 weeks per year. If the net yield is negative (expenses exceed rent), the calculator flags the property as negatively geared and notes the potential tax deduction. Australian investors typically target gross yields of 4-6%.
