Property Investment Calculator
Enter purchase price, costs, rent and appreciation to see multi-year net profit, total return and the compounded annual return.
Frequently asked questions
How is property investment return calculated?
Two sources are combined: net rental income accumulated over the holding period and the appreciation at exit, minus purchase costs. Looking only at yield or only at appreciation is misleading.
What share of rent goes to costs?
Dues, vacant months, repairs and tax together take 10-20% of rent. Complexes with high dues push this up. You can adjust the ratio for your own property here.
Why does average annual return differ from total return?
Total return is cumulative for the whole period; the annual figure is compounded (CAGR). A 150% total over five years is about 20% a year — dividing arithmetically (30%) is wrong.
How should I pick the appreciation rate?
Past growth does not guarantee future returns. Try scenarios below and above expected inflation; the row showing how much of the return comes from rent versus value makes the decision clearer.
