Calculation breakdown
- Gross yield
- ($650.00 × 52) ÷ $750,000.00 × 100 = 4.51%
- Net yield
- ($33,124.00 − $7,100.00) ÷ $750,000.00 × 100 = 3.47%
Assumptions
- Weekly rent is annualised as 52 weeks per year.
- Vacancy allowance reduces effective rent to account for periods the property is untenanted.
- Expenses are annual estimates and exclude loan interest and depreciation.
- Property value is assumed to reflect current market value or purchase price.
How this calculator works
Gross yield is annual rent divided by property value. Net yield subtracts vacancy and every holding cost first, which is the number that actually tells you how the property performs.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good rental yield in Australia?
Gross yields commonly sit between 3% and 6%, with regional properties often higher than capital city ones.
Should I use purchase price or current value?
Purchase price shows the return on what you paid; current value shows the return on capital you could release.
Is loan interest included?
No. Yield measures the property, not your financing. Add interest separately for a cash-flow view.
