How to calculate rental yield
There are two figures every landlord should know:
Gross rental yield
(annual rent ÷ price) × 100. Quick to compare, but ignores running costs.
Net rental yield
((annual rent − costs) ÷ price) × 100. What you actually keep after expenses and vacancy.
What's a good rental yield in Singapore?
Private condominiums typically yield around 3% gross. HDB flats usually yield more, and renting a unit out room by room generally beats letting the whole unit — because the combined room rents exceed a single whole-unit rent. The catch is more management, faster turnover and higher vacancy risk, which the net-yield fields above let you model.
Know the rent before you run the numbers
A yield is only as good as the rent you plug in. PropEasy Singapore shows the real min, median and max room rent for any Singapore project, sourced from live PropertyGuru and 99.co listings — so landlords, agents and co-living operators price with data, not guesswork.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good rental yield in Singapore?
Private condominiums in Singapore typically deliver a gross rental yield of around 3%. HDB flats usually yield more — often 4–5% gross — and renting a property out room by room generally produces a higher yield than letting the whole unit, because the combined room rents exceed the single whole-unit rent.
How is rental yield calculated?
Gross rental yield = (annual rent ÷ property price) × 100. For net yield, subtract annual costs — maintenance/MCST, property tax, insurance, repairs and expected vacancy — from the annual rent before dividing by the property price.
What is the difference between gross and net rental yield?
Gross yield ignores costs and simply compares annual rent to the property price. Net yield subtracts your running costs (maintenance, property tax, insurance, repairs and vacancy) first, so it reflects what you actually keep. Net yield is always lower than gross yield.
Does renting by the room increase rental yield?
Usually, yes. The sum of individual room rents in a unit is typically higher than the rent for the whole unit, which raises gross yield. The trade-off is more management, faster tenant turnover and higher vacancy risk — costs you can model in the net-yield fields of this calculator.
What costs should I include in net rental yield?
Include maintenance or MCST fees, annual property tax, landlord insurance, expected repairs and a realistic vacancy allowance. Agents and co-living operators should also factor in management and furnishing costs.
