Enter the price and expected monthly rent for the gross yield; add vacancy and running costs (free, under Advanced options) for the net yield — and a mortgage to see the monthly cash flow after debt service and the cash-on-cash return on your down payment.

- How is rental yield calculated?
- Gross yield = annual rent ÷ purchase price × 100. Net yield subtracts vacancy and running costs (tax, maintenance, fees, insurance) from the rent first — it's the honest number, typically 1–2 points below gross.
- What is a good rental yield?
- It's market-dependent: prime Singapore condos often run 2.5–4% gross, US single-family rentals 5–8%, with higher yields generally pricing in higher risk or slower appreciation. Compare against the local norm and your mortgage rate — if net yield is below your borrowing cost, the deal needs price growth to work.
- What is cash-on-cash return?
- Annual cash flow after mortgage payments, divided by the cash you actually put in (down payment plus costs). It shows the leveraged return on your money rather than on the whole property value.
