Cap rate calculator (real estate)

Cap rate (capitalisation rate) = Net Operating Income ÷ Property value × 100. It is the unlevered annual return a property would produce if bought outright. A higher cap rate means a higher yielding (often higher risk) deal.

What's a "good" cap rate?

  • 3 – 4% — Class A commercial in metros / very low risk (often considered low yield)
  • 5 – 7% — Typical residential rentals in Tier-1 cities
  • 8%+ — Higher-risk properties, secondary cities, older buildings

Cap rate ignores leverage and financing — it measures the asset itself.
