Updated:
Rental income cannot be judged by the rent alone: tax, maintenance, management and vacant periods between tenants are deducted from it. For this reason the materials show gross and net estimates separately and state the assumptions of the calculation openly.
Start with the material on net yield: it shows what makes up the difference between the gross and the net result. The material on short-term rental describes registration, the tax regime and working with managers. The calculator lets you enter your own figures, and the materials on an owner's costs and on taxes help you avoid missing items that affect the outcome.
What to prepare: your own assumptions about the rent and occupancy, a list of regular costs and an understanding of the tax regime for the chosen kind of let. Any calculation remains an estimate: the result depends on the particular property and on the market in a particular period.

Frequently asked questions
How can I assess the income from renting out an apartment?
Start from the expected rent, then deduct tax, maintenance and management costs and allow for vacant periods. A step-by-step example with its assumptions is given in the material on net yield.
How does a long-term let differ from a short-term one?
The tax regime, registration, occupancy and management costs differ. The comparison and the registration procedure are covered in the materials on short-term rental and on net yield.
Can ready-made yield figures be relied on?
Figures from open sources are best treated as guidelines: they depend on the district, the type of property and the period. That is why the materials state their sources and assumptions, and why the calculator result is best repeated with your own data.
