Rental yield
Before investing in a rental property in France, yield helps compare opportunities. Switch between a long let (monthly rent) and a short let (nightly rate, manager's commission, cleaning and linen) to estimate yours.

The calculation, spelled out
- The gross yield is the annual rent divided by the total acquisition cost (price, fees, works).
- The net yield deducts what is not collected: vacancy, non-recoverable charges, property tax.
- It remains before loan repayments and tax: the actual cash flow depends on financing and on the landlord's tax regime.
Example: €350,000 + €28,000 in fees, let at €1,600 a month, one month vacant
- Total acquisition cost
- 378 000 €
- Gross annual rent
- 19 200 €
- Net rent (after vacancy, charges, tax)
- 14 600 €
- Gross / net yield
- 5,08 % / 3,86 %
What the estimate covers
- Total operation cost: purchase price, acquisition costs and works.
- Long let: gross then net yield, after non-recoverable charges, property tax and rental vacancy.
- Short let: annual income (nightly rate x occupied nights), less the manager's commission, per-night costs, charges and property tax.
- Estimated monthly cash flow, excluding loan instalment and taxation.
Good to know
Indicative estimate, excluding rental income taxation and financing, which depend on your situation. Short letting is regulated: furnished-tourist-let declaration and, in some cities including Paris, night caps for a main residence. Letting and management are handled by a specialist partner; French Realty informs, prepares and coordinates.
