Cash-on-Cash Return Calculator

A quick check on how hard your invested cash is working.

What it's for

Shows your yearly pre-tax cash flow as a percentage of all the cash you put into a property.

Decisions it helps with

  • • Whether your money is working harder in property than elsewhere
  • • How two possible deals compare on the cash they need
  • • Whether spending more on refurbishment is worth it

When you'd use it

Deal A needs £60,000 in and makes £6,000 a year; deal B needs £85,000 and makes £8,500. You put both through to see they return the same 10% on your cash.
