How this calculator works

This calculator estimates both gross and net rental yield for UK investment properties. Gross yield is based on annual rent relative to the purchase price, while net yield factors in costs such as maintenance, management fees, insurance, and mortgage expenses.

The tool also models tax where relevant, allowing you to compare returns for individual ownership, limited companies, and other structures. Results include yield percentages and a breakdown of key cost components to help evaluate the true profitability of a buy-to-let investment.

For detailed tax rules, assumptions, and worked examples, see the Rental Yield Calculator Manual, How We Calculate (Methodology), and Rental Yield Tax Calculations Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate rental yield?
Rental yield is calculated as (Annual rental income ÷ Property purchase price) × 100. Gross yield uses total rental income, while net yield accounts for expenses like maintenance, insurance, and management fees. Our calculator automatically computes both. For detailed instructions, see our Rental Yield Calculator Manual.
What is a good rental yield in the UK?
A good rental yield in the UK typically ranges from 5-8% for most areas. Yields above 8% may indicate higher-risk areas, while yields below 4% are common in high-value locations like London. Our calculator helps you benchmark your property against UK averages. Learn more about rental yield benchmarks in our tax calculations guide.
Why does rental yield differ after tax?
Rental yield differs after tax because UK tax rates vary based on your ownership structure (individual vs. limited company) and income tax band. Our calculator includes UK tax calculations showing both pre-tax and after-tax yields. See our Rental Yield Tax Calculations Guide for detailed tax treatment explanations.
Can I compare multiple properties?
Yes, you can add multiple properties to compare yields, expenses, and returns side-by-side. This helps you identify the best investment opportunities and make informed decisions about your property portfolio. Sign in to save your calculations and build a portfolio analysis.
How does Budget 2025 affect rental yield calculations?
Budget 2025 introduces a +2 percentage point increase on property income tax rates, effective April 2027. For basic rate taxpayers, the rate increases from 20% to 22%, and for higher rate taxpayers from 40% to 42%. Dividend tax rates also increase by +2pp from April 2026. This calculator has been updated to reflect these changes - use the Tax Year dropdown to select 2024-25, 2026-27, or 2027-28 to see how the changes affect your rental yield.
