Gross rental yield
Est. net rental yield

Net yield assumes typical running costs (letting fees, maintenance, insurance, void periods) of around 25% of gross rent, excluding mortgage interest. It's an estimate, not a measured figure. Not financial advice.

What is rental yield?

Gross rental yield is a property's annual rent as a percentage of what it costs to buy. A £150,000 flat renting for £850 a month brings in £10,200 a year, which works out to a 6.8% yield. It's the single number that lets you compare a cheap flat in one city against an expensive one in another on equal terms as an investment, not just as a place to live.

Gross yield ignores costs though, which is why net yield matters too: it strips out the typical running costs of actually being a landlord, giving a more realistic picture of what a property returns after letting fees, maintenance, insurance, and the periods between tenants when it isn't earning anything at all.
