A realistic US planning example
Use these sample inputs as a quick scenario test, then change one variable at a time to compare outcomes.
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Annual Rent ($) | $1,400 |
| Property Value ($) | $350,000 |
After entering these figures, review rental yield and monthly rent together rather than in isolation. Then rerun the tool with one input adjusted.

Common mistakes
- !Using an assumption that is not supported by a current local quote, bill, statement or official source.
- !Treating a generic estimate as a lender, provider, payroll or tax authority decision.
- !Mixing monthly and annual inputs without converting them consistently.
- !Testing only one scenario instead of checking how a cautious assumption changes the result.
What to do next
- Run a second scenario with a cautious assumption so you can see the downside clearly.
- Compare the result with the related calculators below before making a decision.
- Check current local rules, eligibility and provider terms before applying or committing money.
- Keep a record of the assumptions so you can update the estimate when a quote, bill or pay figure changes.
Frequently asked
No. Yield measures income return only. Total return combines yield with capital growth (or loss), minus ownership costs. A 5% yield with 3% annual price growth produces an 8% gross total return, but this ignores transaction costs, tax, and leverage effects that materially change the picture for a mortgaged landlord.
