Rental Property ROI Calculator

Estimate a rental property's total return by comparing cash flow, principal paydown, and appreciation with the cash invested. This calculator makes the holding period and assumptions explicit rather than treating one year's rent as a complete return.

Rental Property ROI Formula

ROI = (cumulative cash flow + equity gain + appreciation) ÷ total cash invested × 100. Include the down payment, closing costs, and initial repairs in invested cash. Keep operating performance separate from estimated appreciation so you can see what drives the result.

Use More Than One Scenario

Returns are sensitive to vacancy, maintenance, financing, and selling costs. Test a downside case before relying on the base estimate, then model the complete property in Snap & Map.
