How Does the Rental Yield Calculator Work?
The calculator allows visitors to estimate the gross rental yield of a property using two simple figures:
- Property purchase price – The price paid or expected to be paid for the property.
- Monthly rental income – The amount of rent the property generates or is expected to generate each month.
Using these figures, the calculator instantly calculates the annual gross rental yield as a percentage of the property purchase price.
For example, a property purchased for £200,000 generating £1,000 per month in rent would have an annual gross rental yield of 6%.
This makes it easy for landlords and property investors to compare potential rental returns across different properties.
