Fonctionnement
How does this tool work?
Total investment adds purchase price, renovation and acquisition costs.
Gross yield compares annual rent with total investment.
Net yield deducts expenses before comparing net income with the investment.
For a meaningful comparison between properties, use the same rent and expense conventions in every scenario. The calculator deliberately measures the property before financing so you can first assess its underlying economic performance, then model mortgage costs, taxes or vacancy separately when they are relevant to your decision.
Use cases
Compare two properties
Compare opportunities using the same method.
Prepare a purchase
Quickly estimate the expected yield.
