Calculating Rental ROI

Rental ROI depends on more than just rent minus mortgage. You need to account for property taxes, insurance, maintenance (1% of property value per year), vacancy rate (5-8%), property management fees, and depreciation. Our Rental ROI Calculator factors in all of these to show your true cash-on-cash return and cap rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much mortgage can I afford?

A common rule is the 28/36 rule: your mortgage payment should not exceed 28% of gross monthly income, and total debt payments should not exceed 36%. Use our Mortgage Calculator to see exact payments for different loan amounts, rates, and terms.

What is rental ROI?

Rental ROI (Return on Investment) measures your annual profit from a rental property as a percentage of your invested capital. Cash-on-cash return focuses on actual cash invested, while cap rate measures the property's unlevered return. Our calculator computes both.
