Get Started FreeA rental yield calculator (also called a property yield calculator or yield tool) is a free online tool that helps UK property investors calculate the return on their buy-to-let investments. Our free yield calculator computes gross yield, net yield, and cash-on-cash return instantly.
Rental yield is the most important metric for buy-to-let investors in the UK. It measures the annual return on your property investment as a percentage. A higher yield means more rental income relative to the property's value.
Gross yield is simply the annual rent divided by the purchase price. It's useful for quick comparisons but doesn't account for running costs.
Net yield subtracts annual costs (insurance, maintenance, management fees, void periods) from the rent before calculating the percentage. This gives a more realistic picture of your actual return.
Yes! This yield calculator is completely free to use. Calculate yields for any UK property with no signup or payment required.
For gross yield: (Annual Rent ÷ Property Price) × 100. For net yield: ((Annual Rent - Annual Costs) ÷ Property Price) × 100. Our free yield calculator does this automatically.
Include insurance, maintenance, letting agent fees, void periods, service charges, ground rent, and any other recurring costs. Don't include mortgage payments in net yield calculation.
