Rental Yield Calculator — Penang Commercial Property 2026

How to calculate and evaluate rental yields for commercial property investments in Penang — with typical yield ranges by property type.

Understanding rental yield is fundamental to evaluating any commercial property investment. This guide explains how to calculate yield and what to expect from Penang commercial property in 2026.

How to Calculate Gross Rental Yield

The simple formula:

**Gross Yield = (Annual Rent / Purchase Price) × 100**

Example: A shoplot purchased for RM 800,000 renting at RM 4,000/month

•Annual rent: RM 4,000 × 12 = RM 48,000

•Gross yield: RM 48,000 / RM 800,000 × 100 = 6.0%

Gross vs Net Yield

Gross yield does not account for:

•Property assessment tax (cukai tanah, cukai pintu)

•Management/maintenance fees (for strata properties)

•Insurance premiums

•Vacancy periods between tenancies

•Renovation between tenants

Net yield typically runs 0.5–1.5% below gross yield for commercial property.

What Drives Yield Differences?

Higher yields tend to come with:

•Secondary locations (more risk, less liquidity)

•Older buildings requiring maintenance

•Shorter remaining lease terms

•Less stable tenants or industries

Lower yields often reflect:

•Prime locations with strong demand

•Long-term stable tenants

•Newer buildings with lower maintenance requirements
