This calculator applies a formula to the figures you enter. It is not financial or tax advice and does not include income tax, non-resident tax, financing or capital appreciation. Gross yield = gross income ÷ total investment. Net yield = (income − platforms − management − fixed costs) ÷ total investment.

Default-value references: Andalusian ITP 7% (Junta de Andalucía); management commissions 12-25% (our article on fees); platform commissions (public Airbnb and Booking.com rate cards). Updated September 2026.

Questions about the calculator

What is the difference between gross and net yield?

Gross divides annual income by total investment and deducts nothing. Net deducts platform commissions, management commission and fixed costs. The calculator shows both plus the payback period.

Does the calculator use data from your villas?

No. We do not publish income, occupancy or rates for the houses we manage. The default values are market references cited at the bottom and you can change all of them.

Does it include income tax or a mortgage?

No. It does not include income tax, non-resident tax, financing or capital appreciation. It is an operating sum before tax, designed to compare properties and areas.

How do I know what rate and occupancy to enter?

By looking at comparable listings in that area by season. If you would like us to do it for a specific property, request the yield analysis: within 48 hours we tell you the rate and occupancy we consider reasonable there.

Do you store what I enter?

No. The calculator runs in your browser and sends nothing to any server.

Want the number for a real property?

Send us the listing link and within 48 hours we return rate, occupancy, licence, costs and estimated net yield for that property. Free and without obligation.
