How this calculator works

Gross yield = annual rent ÷ price × 100. Net yield = (rent collected − agent fees − running costs) ÷ price × 100. Net yield is the more honest number because vacancy and costs eat into the rent.

Worked example: a $650,000 property renting for $600 a week has a gross yield of $31,200 ÷ $650,000 = 4.80%. After 2 vacant weeks ($30,000 collected), 7% agent fees ($2,100) and $5,500 of costs, net income is $22,400 and the net yield is 3.45%.
