Important Information

ROI should be considered alongside other measures. Use the Rental Yield Calculator for rental-income analysis and the Cash-on-Cash Return Calculator when financing and actual invested cash are important.

This calculator estimates annual rental return only. It does not include financing costs, future property appreciation, selling costs, taxes or capital gains.

If you also want to explore how the property's value could change over time, use the Property Appreciation Calculator. It can help you test different long-term growth assumptions using the current property value, an assumed annual appreciation rate and a selected holding period.

The appreciation result should be treated as a planning scenario rather than a prediction of future property prices. Actual values may rise, remain stable or decline depending on market conditions.
