Gross yield = annual rent ÷ property value. Net yield subtracts your running costs. Neither figure accounts for mortgage interest or capital growth.
Rental yield is the annual rent a property generates as a percentage of its value. Gross yield ignores costs; net yield subtracts your running expenses to show what you actually keep.
Frequently asked questions
