About this calculator

This calculator computes the cash-on-cash return on investment for a rental property: annual cash flow (rent collected minus operating expenses, such as mortgage payments, taxes, insurance and maintenance) divided by the total cash actually invested — down payment, closing costs and any upfront repairs — expressed as a percentage.

Real estate investors favor this ROI over simpler gross-yield figures because it measures return on the actual capital at risk rather than the property's full purchase price, making it easy to compare a leveraged rental deal against other investments like index funds or bonds. A cash-on-cash return of 8–12% is generally considered solid for a rental property.
