Frequently asked questions
What is gross rental yield?
Gross rental yield = (annual rent ÷ property price) × 100. It tells you the headline return without accounting for any costs.
What is net rental yield?
Net rental yield deducts annual maintenance, other expenses and rent lost during vacant weeks before dividing by the property price. It reflects the real return you put in your pocket.
What is a good rental yield in India?
Residential rental yields in major Indian cities typically range from 2% to 4%. Commercial properties often deliver 6% to 10%. A higher yield can mean a less appreciation-heavy market.
Should I buy purely for rental yield?
Most Indian residential property returns come from price appreciation, not rent. Use rental yield as one factor — alongside location, infrastructure, builder reputation and your time horizon.
