Why this page exists

Rental property comparisons are easier when monthly rent is turned into a clear yield percentage instead of left as a raw income number. This calculator helps visitors estimate annual rental income, gross rental yield, and a simple adjusted yield if they want to include vacancy or expense assumptions.

Rental yield calculator

Estimate annual rental income, gross rental yield, and an optional adjusted yield after vacancy or annual expenses.

Result

8.12%

Estimated annual rental income and yield based on the property value, monthly rent, and any optional annual vacancy or expense amount entered.

Annual rental income$26,400

Gross rental yield8.12%

Adjusted yield7.57%

Annual vacancy or expense amount$1,800

$2,200 per month works out to about $26,400 in annual rent before vacancy or expenses.
Against a property value of $325,000, that produces a gross rental yield of about 8.12%.
After subtracting $1,800 for annual vacancy or expenses, the adjusted yield estimate is about 7.57%.

This is a simplified planning estimate. Real property performance depends on vacancy, repairs, taxes, financing, management costs, and local market conditions.

How it works

What the calculator is doing

Enter the property value or purchase price and the expected monthly rent.

The calculator annualizes rent and compares it with the property value to estimate gross rental yield.

If you add an annual vacancy or expense amount, it also shows a simpler adjusted-yield estimate.

Understanding your result

Gross rental yield is often useful for quick property comparisons, while the adjusted-yield figure can add a little more realism when vacancy or expense estimates are available. Neither result replaces deeper cash-flow analysis, but both can help with first-pass screening.

Examples

Ways people use this tool

Example scenarios help turn a quick estimate into a more useful comparison or planning step.

Compare two rentals with different prices

Yield can make a rent-versus-price comparison easier than looking at rent and price separately.

See how annual vacancy or expenses affect the estimate

Adding an annual adjustment can show how quickly gross yield can soften once realistic costs are included.

Turn monthly rent into an annual property metric

This is useful when you want a faster comparison number before doing a deeper investment review.

FAQ

Common questions

How is gross rental yield calculated?

The calculator multiplies monthly rent by 12 and divides annual rent by the property value, then converts the result into a percentage.

What is the adjusted yield showing?

It subtracts the annual vacancy or expense amount entered before calculating the yield, which gives a more conservative planning estimate.

Is this the same as a full rental-property analysis?

No. It is a simpler yield estimate meant for quick planning and comparison, not a full underwriting or cash-flow model.
