What is Rental Yield?
Rental yield is the annual return generated from a property relative to its purchase price. It is one of the most important metrics for evaluating a real estate investment. A higher yield means better returns on the capital invested.
Gross yield looks at income before expenses. Net yield factors in all costs including maintenance, taxes, insurance and vacancy, giving a more realistic picture of actual returns.
Gross Yield vs Net Yield
| Metric | Formula | What It Shows |
|---|---|---|
| Gross Yield | (Annual Rent ÷ Property Price) × 100 | Income before expenses |
| Net Yield | ((Annual Rent − Expenses) ÷ Total Cost) × 100 | True return after all costs |
| Payback Period | Total Investment ÷ Net Annual Income | Years to recover investment |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good rental yield in India?
In most Indian cities, gross rental yields range from 2% to 5%. Premium locations or commercial properties can achieve higher yields. GIFT City and newer micro-markets often offer better yields than established residential areas.
How does vacancy affect rental yield?
Every month of vacancy directly reduces your annual rental income. A property vacant for two months effectively loses over 16% of its annual rent. This calculator accounts for your expected vacancy period.
Should I use gross or net yield to compare properties?
Always use net yield for meaningful comparisons. Gross yield ignores expenses which can vary significantly between properties. Net yield gives you the actual cash return on your investment.
