Yield calculation
Most yield figures quoted in the market are gross values on the purchase price. To make a decision, you need net yield on your total investment โ including fit-out, furnishing and closing costs.
This page shows the formulas, realistic deductions, and two worked examples for Tbilisi and Batumi.
Calculate in a single currency and with annual figures. For short-term rental, use occupancy instead of a fixed monthly rent.
Purchase price USD 120,000, fit-out and furnishing USD 12,000, total investment USD 132,000. Monthly rent USD 950 โ USD 11,400 a year โ 8.6% gross. After 8% management, 8% vacancy, 5% tax and 1% maintenance, roughly 6.7% net remains.
Purchase price USD 68,000, furnishing USD 9,000, total investment USD 77,000. Short-term rental at USD 70 per night with 110 occupied nights โ USD 7,700 โ 10% gross. After 20% management and platform fees, 5% tax and maintenance, roughly 7% net remains.
Only compare offers when the base figure and deductions are identical. And keep rental yield separate from capital appreciation: the latter is an expectation, not a running income.
| Item | Long-term rental | Short-term rental |
|---|---|---|
| Management | 5โ10% | 15โ25% |
| Vacancy | 5โ10% | included in occupancy |
| Maintenance | approx. 1% | approx. 2% |
| Rental tax | 5% | 5% |
Subtract management, vacancy, maintenance and the 5% rental tax from the annual rent, then divide the result by your total investment, including fit-out and furnishing.
Roughly 5โ9% gross in Tbilisi on long-term rental and 8โ12% in Batumi with active short-term letting; net figures are typically 1.5โ3 percentage points lower in both. As of 21 Sep 2026.
Not toward rental yield. Capital appreciation is a second, expected return component and should be shown separately because it isn't guaranteed.
