What is a good rental yield in Australia?
A net yield above 5% is usually seen as strong. Between 3% and 5% is about average for most Australian capital cities. Below 3% means you are relying heavily on capital growth to make the investment worthwhile. Regional areas often have higher yields but slower price growth.
Gross yield vs net yield
Gross yield only looks at rent divided by property value. Net yield takes away your running costs like council rates, insurance, maintenance, management fees, and strata. Net yield gives you a much better picture of what you actually keep from your investment.
What expenses should I include?
Include all regular costs of owning the property: council rates, landlord insurance, property management fees, repairs and maintenance, strata or body corporate fees, and water rates. Do not include loan repayments or depreciation here -- those affect your tax position but not your rental yield calculation.
Note: Rental yield does not account for capital growth, tax benefits, or loan costs. Use our Property ROI calculator for a fuller picture of your investment return.
