Rental Yield Calculator (Philippines)
Rental yield is the percentage of a property's purchase price returned annually as rent. In the Philippines, condos in Metro Manila typically yield 5-7% gross and 4-6% net. Houses yield lower (3-5%) but appreciate faster. This calculator computes both gross yield (annual rent ÷ price) and net yield (after vacancy, HOA, real property tax, and maintenance) to show real cash-on-cash return.

In Philippine real estate, gross yields of 5-7% are common for condos in BGC/Makati; houses typically yield 3-5%. Net yields below 4% suggest the property may be overpriced for rental purposes — consider negotiation or seek alternative inventory.
Frequently asked questions
What is rental yield?
Rental yield is the annual rental income divided by the property purchase price, expressed as a percentage. It measures how much income the property generates relative to its cost.
What is gross vs net yield?
Gross yield uses raw annual rent (12 × monthly rent). Net yield deducts vacancy, HOA dues, real property tax, and maintenance to reflect actual cash flow.
What is a good rental yield in the Philippines?
In Metro Manila, condos typically yield 5-7% gross / 4-6% net. Houses yield lower (3-5%) but appreciate faster. Below 4% net is considered weak — likely overpriced or oversupplied.
Why do BGC condos have lower yields than provincial?
High-demand areas have inflated purchase prices that outpace rent growth. A ₱15M BGC condo renting for ₱60K/month yields ~4.8% gross; a ₱4M Cebu condo at ₱20K/month yields ~6%.
Should I include capital appreciation?
Yield only measures income. Total return = yield + appreciation. In high-growth areas (BGC, McKinley) appreciation can add 5-10%/year, making total returns competitive even at lower yields.
