Gross yield = annual rent ÷ property value. Net yield subtracts your annual running costs first. This doesn't account for mortgage payments, tax, or void periods — it's a starting comparison tool, not a profitability forecast.

What counts as a "good" yield?

It depends entirely on location, property type, and your strategy (income vs capital growth) — there's no universal benchmark, and we won't invent one. Use this to compare properties against each other on a like-for-like basis, and read our buy-to-let basics guide for the wider picture.

Next: check rental cover

Yield tells you about the property. Our rental cover calculator tells you whether the rent is likely to satisfy a lender-style affordability test on a given loan amount.
