Rental math
Rental math on your numbers, not on a brochure’s.
Bali marketing loves big double-digit promises. We model the boring way: occupancy, rate, costs and taxes first, the yield figure last.
Every number below is illustrative. It is not a forecast and not guaranteed income: before you buy, we run this same table on the actual object, with your numbers.
A worked example, end to end
Take a one-bedroom villa bought for $200,000 (an illustrative price, close to the middle of our catalogue). Conservative inputs:
- Nightly rate (ADR)
- $130
- Occupancy
- 65%, or 237 nights a year
- Gross rental income
- ≈ $30,800 a year
What comes off before you see anything
- Management and platform fees, 20%
- − $6,160
- Utilities and internet
- − $2,400
- Upkeep and repairs reserve
- − $1,800
- Tax on rental income
- − $3,080
- Net, in this scenario
- ≈ $17,400 a year, or about 8.7% on the purchase
What range is realistic
In conservative scenarios like this one, objects that work land around 8 to 11 percent net after costs in our models. Weaker objects land lower, and that is exactly what the model is for: to say "not this one" before you pay, not after.
Estimates are illustrative and not a guarantee of income. Occupancy and rates move with seasons, competition and management quality. The only calculation that matters is the one on your object and your numbers.
