Calculate your rental yield
How rental yield is calculated
Step 1 — Gross Yield
Divide your annual gross rent (monthly rent × 12) by the total acquisition cost, then multiply by 100.
Gross Yield (%) = (Monthly Rent × 12 ÷ Acquisition Cost) × 100
Step 2 — Adjust for Vacancy
Multiply annual rent by (1 − vacancy rate) to account for months the unit sits empty between tenants.
Effective Rent = Annual Rent × (1 − Vacancy%)
Step 3 — Subtract Expenses
Deduct annual maintenance, society charges, and repair costs from effective rent to get net annual income.
Net Income = Effective Rent − Annual Expenses
Step 4 — Net Yield
Divide net income by acquisition cost and multiply by 100 to get your net rental yield.
Net Yield (%) = (Net Income ÷ Acquisition Cost) × 100
What to include in acquisition cost
- Base price of the unit
- Preferential location charges (PLC) if applicable
- Parking charges
- Stamp duty and registration
- GST on under-construction property
- Brokerage / sourcing fee
- Furnishing cost if renting furnished
Using only the base price inflates your apparent yield. Always model the all-in cost for an accurate picture.
What to include in annual expenses
- Society / maintenance charges
- Property tax (annual)
- Minor repairs and upkeep
- Tenant-sourcing cost amortised annually
Indicative rental yield by unit type — Greater Noida 2026
Based on early-2026 market observations for furnished units in active rental demand zones. Actual returns will vary.
| Unit Type | Typical Size | Monthly Rent Range | Gross Yield (Indicative) | Net Yield (Indicative) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio (furnished) | 400–725 sq ft | ₹10,000–₹18,000 | 5.0%–6.5% | 4.0%–5.5% |
| 1 BHK (furnished) | 500–750 sq ft | ₹12,000–₹22,000 | 3.8%–5.2% | 3.0%–4.5% |
| 1 BHK (semi-furnished) | 500–750 sq ft | ₹9,000–₹16,000 | 3.0%–4.5% | 2.5%–3.8% |
| 2 BHK (semi-furnished) | 900–1,300 sq ft | ₹15,000–₹28,000 | 2.5%–3.8% | 2.0%–3.2% |
Studios in education and employment hubs like Knowledge Park V consistently outperform larger units on yield percentage due to lower ticket size and high single-occupant demand.
Frequently asked questions about rental yield
What is a good rental yield for a studio apartment in Greater Noida?
A gross yield of 4%–6% is generally considered reasonable for furnished studios in active micro-markets. Knowledge Park V, being close to colleges and employment zones, can reach 5%–6.5% gross for well-located furnished units. Net yield — after vacancy and maintenance — typically lands 0.5%–1% lower.
How is rental yield different from ROI or capital appreciation?
Rental yield only measures income return: the rent you collect relative to what you paid. It does not account for property value appreciation over time. Total return on investment (ROI) combines both. For short-to-medium hold periods, rental yield is the most predictable component; appreciation is market-dependent and harder to forecast.
What vacancy rate should I use in my calculation?
A 10%–12% vacancy buffer (roughly 5–6 weeks per year) is a conservative and recommended starting assumption for furnished studios in demand zones. New units just after possession may experience higher vacancy during initial tenant search. Premium-furnished, well-located studios near institutions can achieve 5%–8% vacancy in steady state.
Should I include furnishing cost in acquisition cost?
Yes — if you intend to rent furnished, the furnishing outlay directly affects your yield. A ₹2–4 lakh furnishing investment raises your all-in cost, which lowers your yield percentage but also raises the achievable rent. Use the calculator to model both scenarios and compare the net yield difference.
Does this calculator account for home loan EMI?
No — this calculator models yield on total acquisition cost assuming full ownership. If you are using a home loan, your actual cash-on-cash return is different: compare your net rental income against your equity contribution (down payment + registration costs), not the full property value. A leveraged return calculator is a separate tool.
