How the calculation works
Gross yield = (annual rent ÷ purchase price) × 100. It is quick but ignores your costs.
Net yield = ((annual rent − running costs) ÷ purchase price) × 100. Running costs here include the management fee, an allowance for void periods, maintenance, insurance and any mortgage interest you enter. Net yield gives a far more realistic picture of your actual return.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good net rental yield in the UK?
Net yields around 5% or above are generally considered strong, though this varies significantly by region. Northern cities often show higher yields than London and the South East.
Should I use gross or net yield?
Use net yield for decisions. Gross yield is useful for quickly comparing headline figures, but net yield reflects what you actually keep after costs.
