Estimate price-to-rent ratio for local housing markets.
About This Calculator
The price-to-rent ratio compares the purchase price of a home to its annual rental value. Ratios below 15 generally favor buying; ratios above 20 often favor renting. This calculator also shows the gross yield — the inverse of the ratio — which is useful for comparing to other investments.
Estimates only — not financial, tax, legal, or investment advice. Verify important results with a qualified professional before making decisions.
P/R ratio = home price ÷ annual rent; gross yield = annual rent ÷ price × 100
