How it is calculated

  1. Gross yield = rent × 12 ÷ price.
  2. Rent received = rent × 12 × (1 − vacancy); net yield = (rent received − costs) ÷ (price + buying costs).
  3. Cash flow = rent received − costs − loan payments × 12.
  4. Tax (optional) = rate × (rent received − costs − year-1 interest).

Example

Price 200,000, rent 1,000, costs 2,000 a year, no loan: 6% gross yield, 5% net, cash flow 10,000 a year.

Good to know

  • Fixed rent and costs, no surprise repairs.
  • Real tax depends on the country and the regime you choose: the tax here is only a guess.
