Real Estate Rental Yield & Cash Flow Calculator

Direct Answer: Rental yield measures the annual gross or net cash return generated by a property relative to its purchase price. In Indian tier-1 metro cities (Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi-NCR), residential rental yields typically range between 2.5% and 3.5% before maintenance and taxes, resulting in net yields of 1.8% to 2.4%. Grade-A commercial properties deliver substantially higher yields, typically ranging between 7.0% and 9.5%.
