Guidance

Property Investment Return Calculator:

Use the result as decision support, not as individual advice. For finance topics, scenarios, total cost, risk, term and personal affordability matter.

How to use the result better

  • Calculate conservative, realistic and optimistic cases.
  • Look beyond monthly values to total cost or final value.
  • Keep safety buffers before making a decision.

Common mistake

One attractive figure can mislead when fees, taxes, rate changes, volatility or long terms are ignored.

Is this financial advice?

No. It is an orientation tool and does not replace individual financial, tax or investment advice.

Why are scenarios so important?

Small changes in interest, return, term or costs can change the result significantly.

Gross vs net rental yield

Gross yield uses annual rent compared with the purchase price. Net yield also considers purchase costs, vacancy and ongoing non-recoverable costs.

Cash flow is not the same as return

A property can show a positive investment return but still have negative monthly cash flow. The calculator therefore separates both views.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a good property yield?

It depends on location, risk, financing and strategy. It is important to look at return and cash flow together.

Are taxes included?

No. This is a simplified calculator and does not include individual taxes, depreciation or tax effects.

Why are purchase costs included?

Purchase costs increase the real capital needed and therefore reduce the more realistic net return.
