Rental Yield Calculator

Calculate the gross and net rental yield on a residential or commercial investment property.

Property Value ($)

Weekly Rent ($)

Vacancy (weeks per year)

Annual Expenses ($) Rates, insurance, maintenance, management fees, etc.

function renCalc() { const errEl = document.getElementById('ren-error'); const resEl = document.getElementById('ren-result'); errEl.style.display = 'none'; resEl.style.display = 'none';

const propVal = parseFloat(document.getElementById('ren-property-value').value); const weekRent = parseFloat(document.getElementById('ren-weekly-rent').value); const vacancy = parseFloat(document.getElementById('ren-vacancy-weeks').value); const expenses = parseFloat(document.getElementById('ren-annual-expenses').value) || 0;

// --- Validation --- const errors = []; if (isNaN(propVal) || propVal 52) errors.push('Vacancy weeks must be between 0 and 52.'); if (expenses `⚠ ${e}

`).join(''); errEl.style.display = 'block'; return; }

// --- Formulas --- // Effective occupied weeks const occupiedWeeks = 52 - vacancy;

// Annual rental income (accounting for vacancy) const annualIncome = weekRent * occupiedWeeks;

// Gross Yield = (Weekly Rent × 52) / Property Value × 100 // Uses full 52 weeks (standard industry gross yield — before vacancy) const grossYield = (weekRent * 52) / propVal * 100;

// Net Annual Income = Annual Income (with vacancy) − Annual Expenses const netIncome = annualIncome - expenses;

// Net Yield = Net Annual Income / Property Value × 100 const netYield = netIncome / propVal * 100;

// --- Verdict --- let verdict = ''; if (grossYield >= 7) { verdict = '✅ Strong yield. Gross yield above 7% is generally considered high-performing.'; } else if (grossYield >= 5) { verdict = '👍 Solid yield. Gross yield between 5–7% is typical for many investment markets.'; } else if (grossYield >= 3) { verdict = '⚠️ Moderate yield. Gross yield below 5% may rely on capital growth to justify the investment.'; } else { verdict = '❌ Low yield. Consider whether the rental income justifies the property cost.'; }

// --- Render --- const fmt = v => '$' + v.toLocaleString('en-AU', {minimumFractionDigits: 0, maximumFractionDigits: 0}); const fmtP = v => v.toFixed(2) + '%';

document.getElementById('ren-annual-income').textContent = fmt(annualIncome); document.getElementById('ren-gross-yield').textContent = fmtP(grossYield); document.getElementById('ren-net-income').textContent = fmt(netIncome); document.getElementById('ren-net-yield').textContent = fmtP(netYield); document.getElementById('ren-verdict').innerHTML = verdict;

resEl.style.display = 'block'; }

#### Formulas Used

Annual Rental Income = Weekly Rent × (52 − Vacancy Weeks)

Gross Rental Yield = (Weekly Rent × 52) ÷ Property Value × 100

Gross yield uses the full 52-week year — the standard industry convention before vacancy adjustments.

Net Annual Income = Annual Rental Income (with vacancy) − Annual Expenses

Net Rental Yield = Net Annual Income ÷ Property Value × 100
