How to calculate rental yield
- Multiply the weekly rent by 52 to get the annual rent.
- Divide the annual rent by the purchase price. That's the gross yield.
- For net yield, start with the rent you'll actually receive after vacant weeks, take off management, rates, insurance, strata, maintenance and other running costs, then divide by the price.
Gross or net yield?
Gross yield is the figure agents and listings usually quote. It's quick for comparing properties, but it ignores costs. Two properties with the same gross yield can be far apart once strata, rates and management come off. Net yield is closer to what the property actually earns. Neither includes your loan repayments or tax.
