Rental Yield
Rental yield is annual rental income expressed as a percentage of property value, the primary metric for evaluating income-producing property investments.
| Yield Type | Calculation |
| Gross yield | (Annual rent / Property value) times 100 |
| Net yield | (NOI / Property value) times 100 |
| Cash-on-cash yield | (Net cash flow / Cash invested) times 100 |
| Stabilized yield | Based on market rents, not actual |
| Yield Comparison: Global Markets | Typical Gross Yield |
| Dubai | 5.5% to 7% |
| London | 3% to 4% |
| New York | 3.5% to 5% |
| Singapore | 2.5% to 3.5% |
