How Rental Yield Is Calculated
Gross yield is the simplest measure: annual rent divided by purchase price, expressed as a percentage. A property renting at £900/month with a purchase price of £200,000 delivers a gross yield of 5.4%.
Net yield (return on investment) accounts for real costs: management fees, void periods, and mortgage interest. It divides your net annual income by your total cash invested (deposit plus stamp duty). This gives a more realistic picture of your actual return.
A gross yield above 6% is generally considered good for buy-to-let. Learn more about gross vs net yield.
