Before buying, investors often want to know: what weekly rent do I need to hit my target yield, or to cover my interest costs? This calculator works backwards from a target gross yield or interest cost to tell you the weekly rent required. It helps identify whether achievable rents in a suburb are likely to meet your investment parameters, before you spend time on due diligence.
See what rent is required to cover loan interest costs.
Enter the current or expected weekly rent to see the gap to your target.
Enter the property price and your target gross yield. The calculator will show you the weekly and annual rent required. Optionally, enter your loan amount and interest rate to see the weekly rent needed to cover interest costs. If you enter a current expected rent, the calculator will show whether you meet the target or the shortfall to bridge.
Achievable rent depends on local market conditions, property type, condition, and management. Always verify achievable rent with a local property manager before transacting. Not financial advice.
