NRI rental yield calculator
Every listing quotes a yield. Almost none quote the one that matters. Gross yield is annual rent over price, the number that sells the flat. Net yield is what lands on your capital after the manager takes a cut, the flat sits empty between tenants, and the society, tax, and repair bills get paid.
This calculator shows both, side by side, so you can judge an India flat the way you would judge any other asset: on what it actually returns, not what the brochure claims.
What it does
- Gross yield and net yield, both on the property value
- The cost stack that separates them: management fee, vacancy, running costs
- How much of the headline yield survives, as a share
- A downloadable report you can set against a deposit or index return
Common questions
What is a good rental yield on Indian residential property?
Gross residential yields in Indian cities commonly sit between 2 and 4 percent, low by global standards because prices are high relative to rent. Net yield, after the management fee, vacancy, and running costs, is lower still. This is why many owners hold Indian property for appreciation rather than income.
What is the difference between gross and net rental yield?
Gross yield is annual rent divided by the property value. Net yield subtracts the costs of earning that rent first: the management fee, the weeks the flat is empty, repairs, society dues, property tax, and insurance. Net yield is the honest return on your capital.
Is rental yield calculated before or after tax?
This tool computes yield before income tax, because tax depends on your slab and other income. A tenant paying rent to an NRI also withholds 31.2 percent TDS under Section 195, which is a credit against your final tax, not an additional cost.
