How this is worked out
  1. Rent collected = weekly rent × (52 − weeks vacant).
  2. Gross yield = weekly rent × 52 ÷ purchase price × 100. Vacancy and costs are not taken off.
  3. Management fee = rent collected × the fee percentage ÷ 100.
  4. Costs = council rates + water + insurance + strata + maintenance + land tax + other, each for a year.
  5. Net income = rent collected − management fee − costs.
  6. Net yield = net income ÷ purchase price × 100. It uses the purchase price only, so buying costs are not added.
What this leaves out
  • Tax and tax benefits.
  • The cost of buying, such as stamp duty, legal fees and inspections.
  • Loan interest. Use the cash flow calculator to include the loan.
  • Changes in rent or in the value of the property over time.
