Rental yield calculator

Test a rental scenario without hiding vacancy, running costs or financing.

Inputs are illustrative. Cash invested is optional; enter your actual equity and upfront costs to calculate cash on cash return.

How rental yield and cash flow are calculated

Collected rent = scheduled rent × (1 − vacancy ÷ 100). Management cost = collected rent × management percentage. Net operating income = collected rent − service charges − maintenance − management cost − other annual costs.

Gross yield = scheduled rent ÷ purchase price. Net yield on total acquisition cost = net operating income ÷ (purchase price + buying costs). Annual cash flow = net operating income − annual loan payments. Cash on cash return uses the cash invested you enter. No capital appreciation or tax outcome is assumed.
