Sell or rent?

Compare what you receive if you sell now with what the property earns if you rent it out: rents net of charges, vacancy and income tax, and the property's estimated value at the end of the period.

When you choose the district or municipality, the next list updates.

Frequently asked questions

Is it better to sell or to rent out the home?

It depends on your plans, your mortgage, your cash needs and your tax situation. The simulator compares the figures; the decision is yours.

How is the net yield of a rental calculated?

From the annual rent you subtract IMI property tax, service charges, maintenance, months without a tenant and income tax on the rent; the result is divided by the property's value.

How is rental income taxed?

Rents are property income (IRS category F), taxed after deducting costs such as IMI, service charges and maintenance works. The rate depends on the lease term and on opting for aggregation (englobamento): enter yours.

What does the simulator leave out?

The mortgage, insurance, major works, the costs of a future sale and the capital gains tax on that sale. The rent is kept constant over the whole period.
