Rental yield shows your annual rent as a percentage of what you paid for the property — a quick way to compare returns across properties at very different price points.
How rental yield is calculated
Gross Yield = (Annual Rental Income ÷ Purchase Price) × 100. Net Yield subtracts your annual expenses from the income first, giving a more realistic picture — gross yield alone can make a high-expense property look better than it actually performs.
