Rental Yield Calculator
Gross yield flatters every property. This nets out maintenance, tax and the months a unit sits empty, so you can compare investments honestly.
Typical for a metro residential rental.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good rental yield in India?
Indian residential yields are low by global standards, typically 2-3.5% net in major cities including Hyderabad. Anything above 4% net is strong for residential. Commercial and co-living assets yield more, at higher management effort and risk.
What is the difference between gross and net rental yield?
Gross yield is annual rent divided by purchase price. Net yield subtracts the costs you actually bear — society maintenance, property tax, insurance, repairs and lost rent during vacancy — before dividing. Net is the number that reflects what reaches your bank account.
Should I buy property for rental income in India?
On yield alone, rarely — 2-3% net is below a fixed deposit. The investment case for Indian residential property rests mainly on capital appreciation and leverage, with rent covering part of the holding cost. Judge any purchase on both together, not rent alone.
How much should I budget for vacancy?
One month a year is a reasonable planning assumption for a well-located metro apartment, covering tenant turnover and the gap between leases. Poorly located or oversupplied micro-markets can run two months or more, which meaningfully changes the net yield.
