Formula & Theory — Gross Rent Multiplier Calculator
GRM is a quick screening multiple comparing property price to gross rental income. Lower GRM generally indicates a better yield, but it ignores expenses and financing, so use it alongside cap rate and cash-flow analysis.
GRM = Property value / Annual rent
Value = Annual rent × Target GRM
Rent (annual) = Property value / Target GRM| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Annual rent | Gross rent over 12 months |
| Target GRM | Local benchmark multiple |
| Value | Implied or known purchase price |
