The rental yield shows how much a let property returns relative to its purchase price. From the purchase price, the annual net rent and the non-recoverable costs this calculator gives three figures: the gross yield (annual rent relative to the price), the net yield (after deducting running costs) and the price-to-rent multiple - that is how many annual rents the price equals. With these figures you can size up a buy-to-let property at a glance.

The calculation runs entirely locally in your browser, in pure JavaScript - nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored. The gross yield is annual rent divided by price times 100; the net yield first deducts the yearly costs from the rent. The price-to-rent multiple is price divided by annual rent and equals the gross years to recoup. As a rough rule of thumb a multiple below 25 counts as cheap.

An honest note: this is a first orientation, not a full investment appraisal. Purchase costs, financing, taxes, vacancy, maintenance reserves and capital growth are left out; enter the costs as fully as you can so the net yield is realistic. The amounts are shown in euros as an example; the maths applies to any currency. Not investment advice.

FAQ

Are my inputs uploaded?

No. The calculation runs entirely locally in the browser (pure JavaScript); nothing is sent or stored.

What is the difference between gross and net yield?

The gross yield uses only the annual rent; the net yield first deducts the ongoing non-recoverable costs and is therefore more realistic. Worked example: a 250,000 euro purchase price and 12,000 euros of annual cold rent give a 4.8 percent gross yield; after 2,500 euros of non-recoverable costs, a 3.8 percent net yield remains (price-to-rent multiple 20.8).

What does the price-to-rent multiple tell me?

How many annual net rents the price equals. A multiple of 25 means 25 gross annual rents - the lower, the cheaper the purchase.

Are purchase costs and financing included?

No. The calculator gives a first orientation. For a full appraisal you need to add purchase costs, financing and taxes yourself.
