How to Calculate Rental Yield in Real Estate
One of the most important performance indicators in real estate investment is rental yield. Proper calculation helps you determine which property is more profitable and compare returns across cities.
Gross vs Net Rental Yield
Gross Rental Yield
Gross Yield = (Annual Rent / Purchase Price) x 100
Example: A property bought for 5M TL renting at 25K TL/month: (300,000 / 5,000,000) x 100 = 6.0%
Net Rental Yield
Net Yield = ((Annual Rent - Annual Expenses) / Total Investment) x 100
Expense Categories
- Property tax: 0.1-0.6% annually
- DASK insurance: 500-2,000 TL/year
- Maintenance: 5-10% of rental income
- Vacancy: ~8% of annual rent
- Management fee: 10% of rent
