Use this calculator to work out your gross yield.

Gross rental yield = Annual rental income (weekly rental income x 52) / property value x 100

In this example the rental yield is 7.80%

Property purchase price = $300,000

Weekly rent = $450

(450 x 52) / 300,000 x 100 = 7.80%

Gross rental yield is a simple calculation. Note that it doesn't take expenses into account. A property may have a high gross yield but may also have high expenses making the net return lower.

Net rental yield = (Annual rental income – Annual expenses) / (Total property costs) x 100

There are many factors to consider when investing. A buying decision should be made in consultation with our sales team or your property manager after discussion of your individual goals.
