Yield Calculator

Rental yield compares rental income with a property’s value or purchase price. Use the calculator below to explore gross yield, then add the expenses you want to include in an estimated net result.

Start with value and rent

Enter the property value or purchase price and expected weekly rent. The gross calculation compares annual rent with that value before expenses. Use figures relevant to the property and check how they were assessed.

Add the costs you want to explore

The optional expense inputs let you consider management fees, vacancy, rates, insurance and maintenance. Check that the management-fee percentage reflects the charge you want to model, including any GST you need to allow for. Confirm actual fees and inclusions with your manager rather than treating the calculator as a fee quote.

Compare the gross and net estimates and read the calculation notes. An income amount after the expenses you enter is not the same as money available after every cost of ownership. Borrowing, tax and costs you have not entered can materially change your position.

Use the estimate as a starting point

The results depend on the figures and assumptions entered. Consider different rent, vacancy and expense scenarios alongside your own circumstances and independent advice. The calculator does not forecast a future sale price or guarantee income.

For a property-specific rent estimate, request a rental appraisal. Ask how condition, features and comparable rental properties support the suggested range.
