Tip: A gross yield above 5% is generally considered good for UK buy-to-let. Net yield accounts for running costs and gives a more realistic picture.

How rental yield is calculated

Gross yield is the simplest measure: annual rent divided by the property price, expressed as a percentage. It does not account for any costs.

Net yield deducts your annual running costs (insurance, maintenance, management fees, voids, etc.) from the annual rent before dividing by the property price. This gives a more realistic return figure.

Neither figure includes mortgage costs or tax. For a full picture, use our mortgage calculator and rental income tax calculator.
