  • Purchase price or property value
  • Total monthly rent or the market rate you anticipate to get

Buying multiple properties? Simply enter the total purchase price, rent and number of units and the calculator will take care of the rest!

  • Loan amount
  • Interest rate

Buying with cash? Simply enter zero in the loan amount and interest rate.

Property is freehold? No worries, just leave it blank.

About this calculator

This calculator has been designed for Landlords and property investors who would like to quickly understand whether a deal stacks up!

RESULTS

The results have been divided into 3 sections:

  1. Earnings
  2. Costs
  3. Profits

EARNINGS

Earnings section has 4 key metrics:

  1. Gross rent (per annum) before any operating costs or voids.
  2. Gross yield is gross rent divided by the purchase price.
  3. Net rent (per annum) minus estimated operating costs, including a provision for voids and maintenance
  4. Net yield which is the purchase price divided by net rent (per annum)

COSTS

Costs section has 3 key metrics that you can click to understand the breakdown and assumptions

  1. Initial Investment includes deposit (purchase price minus any mortgage) plus stamp duty land tax, conveyancing fees, mortgage fees.
  2. Operating Costs includes a provision for voids, a fully managed & letting service (incl. VAT and finding tenants), provision for maintenance and property insurance.
  3. Mortgage Interest Payment is calculated on the loan amount and interest rate. If you have entered zero because you are buying in cash, this will appear as £0

PROFITS

This section includes one key metric.

  1. Annual pre-tax profits is your annual net cash flow calculated by subtracting operating costs and mortgage interest payment costs

CUSTOMISE ASSUMPTIONS

You can click into each cost to understand assumptions or customise to your individual circumstances

Click '+ CUSTOMISE ASSUMPTIONS' to edit your costs

UP FRONT COSTS

CONVEYANCING FEES

  • We have default to £1,000 so you can update to match your circumstances
  • If you have multiple properties, you will need to factor this in too

ANNUAL COSTS

MANAGEMENT FEES

  • Currently it defaults to 10% of the rent collected (monthly rent - voids)
  • Remember this number needs include VAT of 20%

INSURANCE RATE

  • Insurance is default to 2% of rent, you can customise this to suit your insurance policy

VOID WEEKS

  • The calculator defaults to 3 weeks which is what the market averages suggest
  • Remember when buying a tenanted property, you can remove voids as you will earn income from day 1

SERVICE CHARGE & GROUND RENT

  • The calculator defaults to zero for both of these metrics.
  • If your property is subject to service charge and / or ground rent then input this number.
