Rental Yield Calculator

Use the rental yield calculator below to estimate the gross annual yield of a residential investment property. It provides a simple starting point for comparing rent with the purchase price or current property value.

How is gross rental yield calculated?

Gross rental yield is the annual rent divided by the property value, multiplied by 100. For example, weekly rent is multiplied by 52 to estimate annual rent before the result is compared with the value entered.

What figures should I enter?

Use a realistic weekly rent and the purchase price or current value you want to assess. If you are unsure about achievable rent in Kaitaia or the wider Far North, request a rental appraisal before relying on an estimate.

What does the result include?

The result is a gross yield estimate. It does not deduct rates, insurance, maintenance, vacancy, finance costs, property management fees, tax, compliance work or other ownership expenses.

Is rental yield enough to assess an investment?

No. Yield is one measure only. Consider the condition and location of the property, expected expenses, demand from suitable tenants, your borrowing position and your own financial objectives. Obtain independent legal, financial, tax and building advice where appropriate.
