Rough estimate for information only. The actual rent depends on the exact location, the condition and amenities of the property, local demand and the prices of comparable properties. Check similar listings in your neighborhood (colonia) and adjust to what you offer.

How it works

How to set the rent in Mexico?

The ideal rent attracts quality tenants without leaving money on the table. A simple way to estimate it is the gross yield: annual rent divided by the property value. In Mexico, most rental properties yield between 5% and 9% a year, roughly 0.4% to 0.8% of the value each month. Our calculator uses that band to suggest a reasonable range.

What matters

What pushes rent up or down

Four variables that move your rent within (or outside) the suggested range.

  1. Location

    The neighborhood (colonia), safety and proximity to transport, schools and workplaces have a direct impact. In high-demand areas rents are higher even if the percentage yield is lower.

  2. Condition of the property

    A renovated, well-lit and well-maintained property justifies a higher rent and spends less time vacant.

  3. Amenities

    Parking, an elevator, security, a pool or a gym add value. Furniture and appliances also let you charge more.

  4. Local comparables

    Check what similar properties in your neighborhood rent for. The market sets the ceiling: above it, your property will take longer to rent.

FAQ

What people ask us most

What percentage of the value is charged as rent in Mexico?

Most rental properties in Mexico produce a gross yield of 5% to 9% a year, which is roughly 0.4% to 0.8% of the property value each month.

Why does the city change the result?

In expensive markets such as Mexico City, sale prices tend to grow faster than rents, so the percentage yield is lower. In tourist destinations or cities with lower prices the band is a little higher.

Does the result include maintenance, property tax (predial) or income tax?

No. The calculator estimates gross rent. From that income you need to subtract maintenance, predial (property tax), insurance, vacant months and taxes to get the net yield.
