This calculator helps you assess the profitability of your investment property by comparing rental income against annual expenses.
Gross Yield: Annual rental income divided by property price. Ignores expenses.
Net Yield: Annual profit (after all expenses) divided by property price. Shows true return.
Australian investment property benchmarks: 3-5% is fair, 5-7% is good, 7%+ is excellent. Your location and property type significantly impact yield.
Important Disclaimer & Assumptions
Assumptions: Gross yield does not account for any expenses. Net yield is based on the expenses you enter — actual costs may be higher. Vacancy rates, maintenance costs, and management fees can vary significantly. Past rental returns are not indicative of future performance.

A good gross rental yield in Australia is typically 4-7%. Capital cities average 3-5% while regional areas can achieve 5-8%+. Net yield (after expenses) is usually 1-2% lower. Higher yields often come with higher risk or lower capital growth potential.
Gross rental yield = (Annual rent / Property value) × 100. Net rental yield = ((Annual rent - Annual expenses) / Property value) × 100. Expenses include council rates, insurance, property management fees, maintenance, strata fees, and land tax.
Both matter for different strategies. Rental yield provides ongoing cash flow and helps cover loan repayments. Capital growth builds wealth over time. Most successful investors seek a balance, though the ideal mix depends on your financial goals and tax position.
