Enter a property's purchase price, monthly rent and annual expenses to see its gross rental yield, net rental yield, and net rental income -- a quick way to judge whether a rental property's income justifies its price.
Purchase Price & Rent
Annual expenses should include society maintenance, property tax and insurance -- costs you bear regardless of whether the property is rented.

How This Rental Yield Calculator Works
Rental yield measures the annual rental income a property generates as a percentage of its purchase price -- a quick way to compare a rental property's income potential against its cost, similar to how a dividend yield works for a stock. Gross yield uses the full annual rent; net yield subtracts your annual running expenses (maintenance, property tax, insurance) first, giving a more realistic picture of actual returns.
What Counts As a Good Rental Yield?
Residential rental yields in most Indian cities typically fall in the 2-4% range (net), which is often lower than other investment options -- residential real estate returns in India have historically come more from capital appreciation than rental income. Commercial properties often show meaningfully higher yields. There's no single universal "good" number; compare it against your own alternative investment options and the property's appreciation potential (see our Plot Appreciation and Property ROI calculators).
What This Doesn't Include
This calculator doesn't account for loan EMI payments (see our Rental Property ROI Calculator for that), vacancy periods when the property earns no rent, or income tax on rental income. Factor these in separately for a complete picture.
