How this is worked out

Gross yield is annual rent divided by property price. Net yield takes off yearly costs such as letting fees, insurance and repairs first.

Tips

  • Stamp duty rules differ by nation: SDLT in England and Northern Ireland, LBTT in Scotland and LTT in Wales.
  • Lenders price mortgages in LTV bands, so a slightly bigger deposit can unlock a noticeably lower rate.
  • Always compare the total cost of a mortgage deal including fees, not just the headline rate.

Frequently asked questions

How does the rental Yield Calculator work?

Gross yield is annual rent divided by property price. Net yield takes off yearly costs such as letting fees, insurance and repairs first.

Do these calculators cover Scotland and Wales?

Yes. We have separate calculators for LBTT in Scotland and Land Transaction Tax in Wales, as well as SDLT for England and Northern Ireland.

Are the mortgage figures a mortgage offer?

No. They are estimates. A lender's decision depends on your credit history, outgoings and their own affordability checks.

How accurate is the monthly repayment?

It uses the standard repayment formula and matches lender illustrations closely for a fixed rate, but actual payments can vary if your rate changes.
