How to Calculate Rental Yield in Australia
Gross yield formula: (Weekly rent × 52 ÷ Purchase price) × 100
Example: $550/wk rent on a $750,000 property = ($550 × 52 ÷ $750,000) × 100 = 3.81% gross yield
Net yield deducts expenses (management fees, rates, insurance, maintenance) before calculating. Typically 1–2% lower than gross yield.
