In short: Enter a property price, an average nightly rate, your expected occupancy and running costs. The calculator shows the gross and net rental yield and the annual income those inputs imply. It is an estimate you control, not a guarantee.

All amounts in USD. The defaults are example values — replace them with your own.

Your estimated yield

Net annual income

Simple payback: 12.0 years of net income to recover the price (before resale or capital growth).

This calculator is for illustration only and is not financial, tax or investment advice. Rates, occupancy and costs vary by area, season and management. Verify the figures independently before you buy.

The method

Gross yield vs net yield

Gross rental yield is your annual rental income divided by the purchase price. It ignores costs, so it always looks higher than what you keep.

Net rental yield subtracts running costs — management, utilities, tax, cleaning, upkeep and vacant nights — before dividing. It is the number that matters for a real return, and the one to compare across properties.

Gross yield = (nightly rate × nights booked) ÷ price

Net yield = (gross income − running costs) ÷ price

What moves it

Three levers behind the number

Change any one of these and the net yield moves. They are also where a good operator earns their fee.

Occupancy

Nights booked per year is the biggest single lever. Professional rental management keeps calendars full across seasons instead of relying on peak months alone.

Nightly rate

Location, design and reviews set the rate you can hold. A villa people want to be photographed in earns more per night than a comparable unit nearby.

Running costs

Management fees, utilities, tax and upkeep decide how much of the gross you keep. Lower, predictable costs raise the net yield without touching the rate.

Questions

Rental yield, answered

What is a good rental yield in Bali?

A net rental yield in the high single digits to low double digits is strong for a managed holiday villa in a prime Bali area. Gross figures run higher because they ignore costs, so always compare net. Magnum's managed projects target a net ROI of 9.5–12.3%.

What is the difference between gross and net yield?

Gross yield divides annual rental income by the price and ignores costs. Net yield first subtracts management, utilities, tax, cleaning, upkeep and vacant nights. Net is what you actually keep, so it is the fair basis for comparison.

Does this calculator include capital growth?

No. It measures rental income only. Capital growth — the rise in the property's value — is separate and adds to your total return. Magnum projects 40–70% capital growth over the build cycle, which the simple-payback figure does not count.

What occupancy rate should I use for Bali?

Annual occupancy for a well-managed villa in a prime area is commonly modeled in the 60–75% range once high and low seasons are averaged. Use a conservative figure you can defend, then check it against real booking data for the specific area.

What costs should I factor in?

Budget for management fees, utilities, government tax, cleaning and linen, routine maintenance, insurance, and the nights the villa sits empty. Together these commonly take 25–40% of gross income, which is why net yield sits well below gross.
