Property Yield Formulas is a free, no-signup cap rate and property yield calculator built specifically for real estate investors. Our mission is simple: give every investor fast, accurate financial tools without the friction of paywalls, logins, or upsells.

Why We Built This

Cap rate is the most-used metric in real estate investing, but the calculators that exist are scattered, behind paywalls, or out of date. Some bury the math under five screens of lead capture. Some ignore vacancy. Some confuse gross yield and net yield. Some don't update their market data.

We built Property Yield Formulas because we needed a clean, fast, accurate cap rate calculator and couldn't find one. Once we had it for ourselves, we figured other investors had the same need — so we shared it.

Our Principles

  • Always free: No paywalls, no premium tiers, no "unlock full results" scams
  • No signup required: Use the calculator anonymously, no email capture
  • Accurate math: Real NOI calculations, real amortization formulas — no fake numbers
  • Privacy first: We don't collect personal data from the calculator. No tracking beyond standard analytics
  • Honest disclaimers: Every page makes clear these are estimates, not professional advice
  • No lead selling: We don't sell your information to lenders or brokers
