KEY METRICS
Understanding rental yield metrics
Gross Rental Yield
Annual rental income as a percentage of property purchase price (before expenses)
(Annual Rent ÷ Property Value) × 100
Tip: This is your starting point. Premium Lisbon areas (Chiado, Príncipe Real) typically yield 3.5-4% due to high prices. Emerging areas (Marvila) can reach 5-5.5%.
Lisbon Market: The calculator uses your entered rent. Occupancy rate (default 95%) affects effective rent. Prime areas yield less but appreciate faster (3-7% annually).
Net Rental Yield
Annual profit after all operating expenses, as a percentage of property price
((Annual Rent - Total Annual Expenses) ÷ Property Price) × 100
Tip: This shows your real income return. Includes IMI tax, maintenance, management, vacancy, condominium fees, and amortized one-time costs (IMT, legal fees).
Lisbon Market: Default expenses: IMI 0.3%, maintenance 1%, management 8%, vacancy 5%, condominium €80/month. One-time costs (IMT 6%, legal 1.5%, notary €600) are spread over 10 years.
Actual Net Yield
Net yield adjusted for vacancy periods and realistic occupancy rates
((Net Annual Income - Vacancy Loss) ÷ Property Value) × 100
Tip: This accounts for realistic vacancy periods. Tourist areas may have seasonal variations, while residential areas maintain more consistent occupancy.
Lisbon Market: Lisbon properties typically achieve 90-95% occupancy for long-term rentals. Short-term (Alojamento Local) may see 10-20% vacancy in off-season months.
