How it works
Read the result with the formula and assumptions in mind.
Short answer
This calculator estimates gross and net rental yield from property price, monthly rent and recurring fees, including a negative net result when entered fees exceed rent.
Formula
Calculation logic
Gross yield = annual rent / property price x 100. Annual net rent = (monthly rent - monthly fees) x 12, which can be negative. Net yield = annual net rent / property price x 100.
Example
Worked scenario
Example: if a RM500,000 property rents for RM2,200 per month, the calculator converts rent into annual yield before and after monthly fees.
Assumptions
Before using the number
- Net yield only deducts the monthly fees entered.
- Vacancy, repairs, assessment, quit rent, tax and loan instalment are not fully modelled.
- A negative net result means the entered recurring fees exceed rental income before other costs.
Interpretation
How to use the result
- Gross yield is a quick comparison; net yield is more useful only when recurring costs are complete.
- Add realistic vacancy, repairs, taxes and financing separately before treating the result as cash flow.
- A negative annual net figure means the entered recurring fees already exceed rent before other costs.
