Your yield
What rental yield can you expect in Prague?
Gross rental yield = annual rent / price. A Prague 2+kk bought for CZK 8 million and let for CZK 20,000–26,000 a month yields 3.0–3.9 % a year before costs. Net yield is lower once you deduct the SVJ fund, management, insurance, empty months and tax.

Rental yield in Czech Republic — what it is and how to compute it
Rental yield is the simplest metric for evaluating a buy-to-let property: annual rent divided by property price. It tells you, at a glance, whether a Czech property is worth renting out — before you go deep into IRR or NPV analysis.
Gross vs. net yield
Gross yield = (annual rent / price) × 100. The upper bound — no costs, no tax, no vacancy. Net yield subtracts costs (building fees, minor maintenance, property tax) and the income tax on rental earnings.
What's a good yield in 2026?
In Prague, a 2+kk at 2026 prices and rents yields about 3.0–3.9 % gross, as in the example above, and the net yield is lower. If net yield isn't comfortably above the mortgage rate (~5 %), the investment doesn't make sense from rental income alone, so you're betting on capital appreciation.

What people ask most
What's a good rental yield in Czech Republic?
In Prague in 2026 a 2+kk bought for about CZK 8 million and let for CZK 20,000–26,000 a month yields 3.0–3.9 % gross, and less after costs and tax. That is below the average mortgage rate of 5.00 % (ČBA, August 2026), so with a mortgage the rent alone does not pay for the borrowed money and you are counting on price growth.
Should I include SVJ fees and utilities in costs?
No, if the tenant pays them. Standard Czech leases pass SVJ fees and utilities to the tenant as "services". You as owner pay the repair fund (for example CZK 40 per m² a month, CZK 2,600 on a 65 m² flat), property tax (1–4k Kč a year) and minor repairs. If you lived there yourself, you'd pay these anyway — they're not deducted from yield.
How is rental income taxed in Czech Republic?
For a Czech individual taxpayer: 15 % on the rent after expenses. You can deduct actual expenses or use a 30 % flat-rate deduction (at most CZK 600,000). For an s.r.o. (LLC): 21 %. It goes in the annual tax return as § 9 rental income; details in tax on rental income, and a worked example with depreciation in our guide to rental income tax.
What's vacancy and how is it included?
Vacancy = the time the property sits empty (between tenants, repairs). Realistically 1–2 months/year (5–10 %). This simple calculator doesn't include it — for a more accurate model use our full calculator.
Is short-term rental (Airbnb) more profitable?
It can earn more per night but costs more to run (cleaning, platform fees, wear), and with services it is usually taxed as a business (§ 7) rather than as rent. Since 20 May 2026 the EU regulation on short-term rental data applies, but Czechia has not yet set up a registration procedure. What it means for a mortgaged flat is in mortgage and Airbnb.
How does rental yield compare to other investments?
Compare it with what the same money would earn elsewhere at a similar risk, after tax. A Prague flat at 3.0–3.9 % gross beats safer options only once price growth is added. Property also lets you use a mortgage as leverage, but it is slow and costly to sell.
