Gross yield uses rent only. Net yield subtracts running costs like maintenance, tax and management fees, giving a more realistic return.

It varies by city and property type. Higher yields often come with lower capital growth, so investors weigh yield against expected appreciation.

What Is a Good Rental Yield?

A gross rental yield of around 3–5% is typical for residential property in many Indian cities, and anything above roughly 5% is generally considered good. Yield is the annual rent expressed as a percentage of the property's value, so a higher figure means stronger rental income relative to price.
