This calculator gives a simple estimate only. Actual rental returns can vary depending on mortgage costs, tax, maintenance, void periods and individual circumstances.
How to calculate rental yield
Rental yield measures the annual rental income from a property as a percentage of the property value. Landlords often use rental yield to compare buy-to-let investments and estimate potential returns.
Example: £200,000 property with £1,200 monthly rent
If a property generates £1,200 per month in rent, the annual rental income would be £14,400.
After deducting annual costs, the remaining rental income is divided by the property value to estimate the net rental yield percentage.
What affects rental yield?
Rental yield can be affected by property price, rental demand, maintenance costs, mortgage payments, insurance, management fees, void periods and local market conditions.
