The essentials
Rental yield figures can be measured in different ways. These six points explain how to read the figures on this page.
Gross yield compares a year of rent with the purchase price, before expenses such as tax, maintenance, and management fees.
Why it matters: Two homes with the same gross yield can earn different amounts once costs are paid. A local property manager can estimate a home's running costs.
Net yield also takes off running costs, so it is lower than the gross figure for the same property.
Why it matters: Net yield is closer to the income an owner keeps. Tax on rental income varies by country, and a local tax adviser can confirm what applies.
Global Property Guide lists a two-bedroom in Johannesburg's Sandton at US$970 a month on a US$76,100 price, which gives 15.30%.
Why it matters: The example shows how the figure is worked out, not what a specific home will earn. The seller can share the rent a property achieves today.
Global Property Guide lists a one-bedroom at 12.15% in Istanbul's Esenyurt and 4.71% in Kadıköy.
Why it matters: City averages can hide wide gaps between districts. The yield for a home's own district gives a closer picture.
Global Property Guide bases its yields on median prices and rents from local property listings.
Why it matters: Asking prices and rents can differ from agreed ones. Recent rental contracts for a specific home give a firmer figure.
Global Property Guide updates this dataset twice a year, so each figure on this page shows its period.
Why it matters: Rents and prices move between updates. The period beside each figure shows how current it is.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to help you plan your purchase.
Rental yield compares a property's annual rent with its purchase price. A high rental yield property is one where that figure is high compared with similar properties in its market.
You divide a year of rent by the purchase price, then multiply by 100. A home costing US$76,100 and renting for US$970 a month earns US$11,640 a year, which gives a gross yield of 15.30%.
Gross yield uses the full rent, while net yield also takes off running costs such as tax, maintenance, and management fees. For the same property, net yield is lower than gross yield once those costs are counted.

The yield figures on this page come from Global Property Guide, which bases them on median prices and rents from local property listings. They are gross averages for a market or area, so they do not describe any individual property.
A country average blends many cities, property sizes, and prices, so it can differ from the figure for one home. Global Property Guide, for example, lists a one-bedroom in Johannesburg's city centre at 15.76% and a two-bedroom there at 8.61%.
You should ask the seller how any yield figure was worked out and what rent evidence supports it. It also helps to ask about service charges, management fees, and local rules on letting, and to take independent advice.
