Formula for Calculating Return on Equity
The Return on Equity is calculated as the ratio of annual net income to the invested equity, adjusted for any transaction costs.
The formula is as follows:
\(\text{Return on Equity} = \frac{\text{Annual Net Rent} – \text{Non-recoverable Costs} – \text{Annual Interest Costs}}{\text{Equity} + \text{Transaction Costs}} \times 100 \)This formula considers the annual rental income, minus non-recoverable costs and loan interest costs. The result is then divided by the total equity invested, including any transaction costs, and expressed as a percentage.
This calculation gives you a precise estimate of the profitability of your investment based on the capital you’ve invested.
