Yield Benchmark

In major Indian cities, residential rental yield typically ranges from 2% to 3%. Commercial properties may offer 5% to 8%. If your net yield is above 3%, it's performing better than average residential assets.

Rental yield expresses annual rental income as a percentage of property value. Investors use it to compare properties and judge whether rent justifies the purchase price.

Gross rental yield

Gross Yield = (Annual Rent ÷ Property Value) × 100. It ignores expenses and vacancy—useful for quick comparisons but optimistic.

Adjust rent for vacancy: if the unit is empty several weeks per year, effective rent is lower than 12 × monthly rent.

Net rental yield

Net Yield = (Annual Rent − Expenses − Vacancy Loss) ÷ Property Value × 100. Include maintenance, property tax, insurance, society charges, and management fees.

Net yield is closer to cash-on-cash return before mortgage costs. If financed, also model loan EMI against net income.

Benchmarks and context

In major Indian cities, residential net yields of 2–3% are common; yields below mortgage rates mean you rely on appreciation for total return.

Compare yield to alternative investments (FD, bonds, REITs) and factor in liquidity, maintenance effort, and tax on rental income.
