Rental Yield Formula
Gross Rental Yield
= (Annual Rental Income ÷ Property Purchase Price) × 100
Net Rental Yield
= ((Annual Rental Income − Annual Expenses) ÷ Property Purchase Price) × 100
Gross yield ignores costs and gives a quick comparison metric. Net yield deducts maintenance fees, assessment tax, insurance, and other expenses — giving a more accurate picture of your actual return on investment.

KL Average Gross Yield: 3.5–5%
Quick Answer
Formula: Gross Rental Yield = (Annual Rent ÷ Purchase Price) × 100. The average gross rental yield in Malaysia ranges from 3.5% to 5% in KL, with emerging areas reaching 5–7%.
A property purchased at RM 500,000 with monthly rental of RM 2,000 generates a gross rental yield of 4.80%.
Property ROI Calculator — Rental Yield & Returns
Rental yield is the most important metric for measuring property ROI (Return on Investment) in Malaysia. While capital appreciation builds long-term wealth, rental yield provides measurable, recurring income that can be calculated before you buy. Use the calculator above to estimate your property ROI based on current rental rates and expenses.
For a complete picture of property ROI, combine your net rental yield with estimated annual capital appreciation. For example, a 4% net yield plus 3% capital growth equals a 7% total annual ROI — competitive with most fixed-income investments in Malaysia.
What Is a Good Rental Yield in Malaysia?
A good gross rental yield in Malaysia generally falls between 4% and 6%. However, what counts as “good” depends on the area, property type, and your investment goals. Here are the 2026 benchmarks:
KLCC / Bangsar / Mont Kiara
3.5–4.5%
Lower yield, strong capital appreciation
Cheras / Setapak / OUG
4.5–5.5%
Balanced yield and growth
Cyberjaya / Nilai / Rawang
5–7%
Higher yield, emerging areas
JB (near RTS Link)
4–6%
Growing demand from SG commuters
Properties near MRT/LRT stations and universities tend to have higher rental demand and better occupancy rates, which directly impacts your effective yield.
The 2% Rule in Rental Property
The 2% rule is a quick screening guideline used by property investors: if a property's monthly rent equals at least 2% of its purchase price, it is considered a strong cash-flow investment.
Example: RM300,000 property × 2% = RM6,000/month rent needed
Your property: RM 500,000 × 2% = RM 10,000/month — Below 2% threshold
Reality check: In Malaysia, most properties fall well below the 2% rule. A more realistic target is 0.3–0.5% monthly (3.6–6% annual gross yield). The 2% rule is more commonly achievable in US and emerging markets.
