What it means
Yield is the rent you collect each year as a percentage of what the property cost. Gross is before costs; net is after them.
Investing
Rental yield calculator
Rent as a share of the purchase price, before and after costs.
Why it matters
It shows whether the rent is doing real work against the purchase price, not just looking large as a monthly figure.
When to use it
Use it when comparing buy-to-let deals, or when checking if an asking price still makes sense against local rents.
How to read the result
Higher net yield is stronger on paper. Check voids and costs carefully. Tax on rental income is not included here.
