How it works

Enter the property price and the rent it earns or could earn. The calculator divides annual rent by the price for a gross yield. Add annual costs such as rates, insurance, management and maintenance, and it deducts them to show a net yield as well.

Rental yield is a straightforward way to gauge how hard a property works as an investment: the rent it earns, measured against what it costs. This tool gives you an indicative gross yield from price and rent, then a net yield once you add the running costs, so you can compare Equitifund investment properties on the same basis. It is a guide for comparison, not a forecast of what any property will earn.

Understanding your results

You will see a gross yield, which is annual rent as a percentage of price, and once you add costs, a net yield, which is rent less running costs as a percentage of price. Higher is not automatically better: yield is one part of the picture, alongside capital growth, location and your own goals. Every figure is indicative, based on the numbers you enter, and does not reflect any specific property or predict future income.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a good yield?
It depends on the property type, location and your strategy, so there is no single benchmark and we do not quote one. Use the tool to compare like with like rather than chasing a target number.
Gross or net, which should I use?
Gross for a fast comparison, net for a realistic view once costs are in. Net is generally the more useful of the two.
Does a high yield mean a better investment?
Not necessarily. Yield measures income, not growth or risk. A full assessment weighs yield alongside capital growth, costs, tax and your goals.
Does this predict my returns?
No. It is an indicative estimate from the figures you enter. Actual rent, costs and yield will differ, and estimated yields are not a guide to future performance.
