    Understanding Rental Yields

    Gross Yield

    Gross yield is calculated by dividing annual rental income by the property price. It's useful for quick comparisons but doesn't account for operating costs.

    Net Yield

    Net yield deducts annual expenses (management fees, maintenance, insurance, void periods) from rental income before calculating the percentage. This gives a more accurate picture of actual returns.
