How to use this calculator
When to use this
You're evaluating an investment property and want to know the return you'll get from rent. It helps you compare properties side by side.
Steps
- Enter the property value (or purchase price).
- Enter the weekly rent.
- Optionally, enter annual expenses (management fees, insurance, maintenance, council rates) to see your net yield.
Understanding your results
- Gross yield is your annual rent divided by the property value, before any expenses. It's a quick way to compare properties.
- Net yield is the same calculation but after subtracting your annual expenses — a more realistic picture of your return.
- Yield gauge shows yield quality at a glance: under 3% is poor, 3–4% is fair, 4–5% is good, and 5%+ is excellent.
- Income breakdown shows what you actually receive weekly, monthly, and annually.
Tips
- High yield doesn't always mean a good investment — check capital growth too. The best investments balance both.
- Aim for at least 4% gross yield for cash-flow positive properties.
