Net Yield Calculator

The Net Yield Calculator helps investors calculate the percentage yield from a property after accounting for expenses. Net yield is a critical measure for property investors, showing the annual return as a percentage of the property's value.

Historical Background

Net yield has long been a key metric in real estate investment, allowing investors to evaluate and compare different properties based on profitability.

Calculation Formula

The formula for net yield is:

\[ \text{Net Yield} (\%) = \left(\frac{\text{Gross Income} - \text{Expenses}}{\text{Property Value}}\right) \times 100 \]

Example Calculation

If your gross income is $20,000, expenses are $5,000, and the property value is $250,000:

\[ \text{Net Yield} = \left(\frac{20000 - 5000}{250000}\right) \times 100 = 6\% \]

Importance and Usage Scenarios

Net yield is essential for evaluating rental properties, ensuring that investors focus on net returns rather than gross income alone.
