Rental yield is one way to compare the income produced by an investment property with its purchase price or current value. Use the calculator below as an initial estimate, then consider costs, vacancy, finance, tax and the condition of the property.
Gross yield generally compares annual rent with the property value before expenses. It does not represent cash flow or investment return after rates, insurance, management, maintenance, compliance, vacancy, finance and tax.
Inputs and assumptions matter. A current rental appraisal can provide a more informed rent estimate for property in Kerikeri, Waipapa, Kaeo, Whangaroa, Okaihau or Waimate North.
This calculator is general information, not financial, tax or investment advice. Consider independent professional advice before making an investment decision.
