Twin Tower Rental Yield Calculator: Gross & Net Yield in Seconds
Quick answer
Gross yield is annual rent divided by price. Net yield deducts vacancy, maintenance fees and yearly charges first. For a Twin Tower 2-bedroom at RM1,080,000 renting at RM3,300 a month, gross yield is 3.67% and net yield about 2.84% with one month's vacancy and RM0.39 psf maintenance.

Use this Twin Tower rental yield calculator to work out the gross and net yield of a unit at Twin Tower Residence, Bukit Chagar, in seconds. Enter the price, the monthly rent and your running costs, and the calculator shows what the unit really earns after maintenance fees, yearly charges and vacancy. The default figures describe a typical 882 sq ft 2-bedroom based on portal asking data from October–November 2026.
How do I use the rental yield calculator?
- Price (RM): the purchase price you expect to pay, or the asking price you are considering.
- Monthly rent (RM): the rent you expect to achieve. Check current asking rents for the same layout.
- Size (sq ft): the built-up area, used to calculate the maintenance fee.
- Maintenance fee (RM psf per month): the rate on the unit’s management statement, including sinking fund if billed together.
- Other yearly costs (RM): quit rent, assessment rates, fire insurance and a repairs allowance.
- Vacancy (months per year): a realistic gap between tenants.
The calculator returns three results: gross yield %, net yield % and net annual income (RM).
What are the default inputs based on?
| Input | Default | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Price | RM1,080,000 | Within the RM1.00m–1.15m asking range for 2-bedroom units (Mudah / EdgeProp, Oct–Nov 2026); Brickz recorded median is RM1,100,000 |
| Monthly rent | RM3,300 | Asking median for 2-bedroom whole units (Mudah, Oct–Nov 2026) |
| Size | 882 sq ft | 2-bedroom built-up area |
| Maintenance fee | RM0.39 psf / month | Agent listings show roughly RM0.38–0.40 psf; confirm with management |
| Other yearly costs | RM1,500 | Illustrative allowance for quit rent, assessment and insurance |
| Vacancy | 1 month / year | A prudent planning figure |
What formula does the calculator use?
Gross yield = (monthly rent × 12) ÷ price × 100
Net annual income = rent × (12 − vacancy months) − maintenance psf × size × 12 − other yearly costs
Net yield = net annual income ÷ price × 100
Worked example with the default inputs
- Annual rent before vacancy: RM3,300 × 12 = RM39,600
- Gross yield: RM39,600 ÷ RM1,080,000 = 3.67%
- Rent actually collected: RM3,300 × (12 − 1) = RM36,300
- Maintenance: RM0.39 × 882 = RM343.98 a month; × 12 = RM4,127.76 a year
- Net annual income: RM36,300 − RM4,127.76 − RM1,500 = RM30,672.24
- Net yield: RM30,672.24 ÷ RM1,080,000 = 2.84%
The calculator rounds yields to two decimal places. The same unit fully let for 12 months (no vacancy) would earn RM33,972.24 net, or 3.15%.
How should I read the results?
Gross yield is the quick screening number: it is how investors compare one building with another. Indicative gross yields at Twin Tower Residence work out at roughly 3.5%–4.5% from asking figures, with studios at the upper end because they earn the most rent per square foot. Net yield is closer to what reaches your pocket. For a city-centre serviced residence, net yield usually sits about one percentage point below gross, as in the example above.
Try changing one input at a time. A RM100 increase in monthly rent adds RM1,100 a year to net income with one month’s vacancy, which lifts net yield by about 0.10 percentage points on a RM1.08m unit. Our rental yield calculation guide shows more scenarios, including studios and cash-on-cash return with a loan.
How to adapt the inputs for other layouts
For a studio, change the size to 599 sq ft (some listings show about 559 sq ft) and use studio asking prices and rents; for a 2+1 bedroom, use 1,054 sq ft. Because the maintenance fee is charged per square foot, larger units pay more each month, but they often attract families or sharers who stay longer. A well-furnished, well-presented unit priced in line with the market usually shortens vacancy, though one month remains a prudent planning figure.
What does the calculator leave out?
- Financing: loan interest is not deducted. Use our home loan guide to see instalments.
- Income tax on rental income, which depends on your tax residency.
- Entry costs such as stamp duty, legal fees and furnishing; see buying costs explained.
- Agent fees for finding tenants, and one-off repairs.
- Capital growth: yield measures income only. A completed 2023, freehold building beside the Bukit Chagar RTS Link station also has own-stay and long-term appeal.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good rental yield for Twin Tower Residence?
Asking figures from October–November 2026 point to an indicative gross yield of roughly 3.5%–4.5% at Twin Tower Residence. Studios tend to sit near the top of that band and 2-bedroom units near the lower middle. Net yield is usually about one percentage point lower once maintenance, yearly charges and vacancy are included.
Why is net yield lower than gross yield?
Gross yield uses the full twelve months of rent and ignores costs. Net yield removes vacancy, the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund, quit rent, assessment rates and insurance. With the calculator's default 2-bedroom inputs, these items reduce yearly income from RM39,600 to about RM30,672, taking yield from 3.67% to 2.84%.
Where do I find the exact maintenance fee for a unit?
Ask the seller for the latest management statement or contact the building management office. Agent listings in 2026 showed roughly RM0.38–0.40 per sq ft per month, but the exact charge depends on the unit's share units and whether sinking fund is billed separately. Enter the precise rate for an accurate result.
Should I include furnishing costs in other yearly costs?
No. Furnishing is a one-off entry cost, so it belongs in your cash-on-cash calculation rather than in yearly running costs. Use the other yearly costs box for recurring items such as quit rent, assessment, fire insurance and an allowance for small repairs or air-conditioner servicing.
Does the calculator work for studios and 2+1 bedroom units?
Yes. Replace the defaults with the unit's price, rent and size. For example, a 599 sq ft studio or a 1,054 sq ft 2+1 bedroom will show a different maintenance cost because the fee is calculated per square foot. Use current asking rents for the same layout to keep the result realistic.
