FAQs
Rental yield is a calculation that shows how much income a property generates compared to its purchase price. It is shown as a percentage and helps landlords and investors understand how profitable a rental property could be. Our rental yield calculator gives you instant estimates based on the price, monthly rent, and running costs of a property.
To calculate gross rental yield, multiply the monthly rent by 12 to get the annual income, then divide that by the property price and multiply by 100. For example, £1,200 per month rent on a £240,000 property would be: (1,200 × 12) ÷ 240,000 × 100 = 6 percent yield. To calculate net yield, subtract annual costs from the rental income before dividing by the property price.
Rental yield helps landlords assess whether a property offers a strong return on investment. A higher yield means better income potential, which can help cover mortgage repayments, maintenance and other costs. Yield also provides a useful comparison tool when choosing between properties or evaluating the financial performance of a rental portfolio.
How do I optimise my rental yield?
- Set the right rental price: Research similar properties in your area to make sure your rent is competitive but not undervalued. Use online tools or speak to us for guidance.
- Minimise empty periods: Reduce rental voids by keeping your property in good condition and responding quickly to tenant queries. Consider offering flexible lease terms or allowing pets to widen your market.
- Review and reduce running costs: Look at your annual expenses like insurance, maintenance, and letting fees. Shop around or renegotiate contracts to increase your net return.
