City Median price Typical rent/wk Gross yield

Indicative data based on 2025 median property prices. Actual yields vary by suburb, property type, and market conditions.

Disclaimer: This calculator provides indicative estimates only. Gross yield = (weekly rent × 52) / property value × 100. Net yield uses vacancy-adjusted income less annual expenses. Cash flow uses interest-only component of the mortgage. Yields do not account for capital growth, depreciation, negative gearing tax benefits, or individual circumstances. Consult a property investment adviser before making investment decisions.
