Yield
Yield represents the income an investment generates and is usually expressed as a percentage. A Yield is the annual net profit that an investor earns on an investment property. Also known as the capitalisation rate, the yield on rental property shows investors how much income they’ll generate on their holdings after accounting for operating expenses.
Rental yield is the amount of money you make on an investment property by calculating the difference between your total costs and the income you receive from renting it out. Understanding how property yield works can help you estimate the ongoing return on your investment. It can also be useful when reviewing the rent on an investment property.
Here’s how to calculate gross rental yield:
- Sum up your total annual rent that you would charge a tenant
- Divide your annual rent by the value of the property
- Multiply that figure by 100 to get the percentage of your gross rental yield
Understanding how property yield works gives you a better idea of the ongoing return you will earn on your investment. It can also be helpful when it comes time to review the rent on an investment property. When you know the rental yield of a property, you’re also better placed to understand if it is the right place for your investment goals, or if you could earn a higher rental yield with a different property or by investing in another suburb.
