Property Investment Calculator
A Property Investment Calculator that is free and (hopefully!) easy to use. Have a play and see the difference leverage makes. Please note the assumptions though!
This calculator is designed to determine the following variables when considering a property for investment purposes:
- Gross Yield: Defined as gross annual rent divided by the purchase price.
- Mortgage Lending Amount: The maximum mortgage you could likely secure against the property.
- Deposit Required: The amount of capital you will need to put into the property as a deposit.
- Return on Investment: The return you will get on the deposit invested, defined as the net rent (after mortgage costs) divided by the deposit amount.
It makes the following assumptions:
- It does not take into account buying costs such as Stamp Duty Land Tax, legal fees, arrangement fees, broker fees and so on.
- For the Mortgage Lending Amount, it assumes the maximum you can borrow is 75% of the purchase price. It applies a Rental Stress Test of 125% coverage at a nominal rate of 5.5%. Note: This will vary by lender and product.
- For the Return on Investment Calculation, it does not take into account other running costs such as maintenance, management and voids when calculating the net rent.
- Also for the Return on Investment Calculation, it assumes an interest-only mortgage interest rate of 3.5%
Please note: This is for illustration only and to demonstrate the power of leverage in property investment. Your actual calculations you rely upon for decision making purposes should be much more detailed!
