Tip: A gross yield of 5-8% is typically considered good for UK buy-to-let properties. Net yield accounts for real-world expenses.

Gross Yield

The gross rental yield is calculated by dividing the annual rental income by the property price.

(Monthly Rent × 12) ÷ Property Price × 100

Net Yield

Net yield accounts for all operating costs and void periods, giving a realistic return figure.

(Annual Income - Expenses) ÷ Total Investment × 100

ROI

Return on Investment measures the total return based on your actual cash investment including all costs.

Net Profit ÷ Total Cash Invested × 100
