Property return calculator
See how rental yield, running costs and capital growth combine over time. Move the sliders to test your own assumptions.
This tool is for illustration only. It ignores fees, tax, borrowing and timing, and the figures are not a forecast or a promise of returns.
Net yield is gross yield less running costs. Capital growth compounds yearly. Income is not reinvested.
Property investments can fall as well as rise in value and you may get back less than you invest. Shares in property companies are illiquid and may be hard to sell. Returns are not guaranteed. Investments like these are generally not protected by the FSCS. Read our risk warning.
How to use the calculator
Start with the gross yield for the type of property you are considering, then set running costs. Costs for residential lettings commonly take a substantial share of the rent once management, repairs, insurance and empty periods are included. Read our guide to rental yield for more.
