Rental Yield Calculator

The Rental Yield Calculator is a fundamental tool for real estate investors that measures the annual income generated by a property as a percentage of its total cost. Unlike 'Appreciation' which is speculative, 'Rental Yield' represents the tangible cash flow an asset provides. In India, residential yields typically range between 2-4%, while commercial properties can offer 7-10%. This calculator helps you distinguish between 'Gross Yield' (raw income) and 'Net Yield' (income after costs like society maintenance, property tax, and insurance). By focusing on yield, investors can make objective comparisons between properties in different cities and assess whether an investment is worth the capital lock-in.
