Gross or net?
Gross yield is annual rent divided by price. It always looks better than the net yield.
Rental yield in Batumi. How to calculate it honestly.
In short
Rental yield shows how much an apartment earns per year relative to its price. Many offers in Batumi advertise high figures. What matters is the net yield: income after vacancy, service charge, management, cleaning and taxes. Calculate with realistic occupancy, because demand is strongly concentrated in summer.
How to calculateDon't rely on advertised yields. Ask for real figures from comparable apartments.

The yield in four steps.
How to get from the advertised figure to the real yield.
- 1
Estimate income
Nightly rate times realistically booked nights per year, split into summer and off-season.
- 2
Subtract costs
Service charge, management, cleaning, platform fees, electricity, internet and repairs.
- 3
Subtract taxes
For long-term lets, individuals in Georgia pay 5% of gross rent. For short-term rentals, confirm the classification with a tax adviser. Taxes at home may apply on top.
- 4
Divide by the price
Net income divided by price plus finishing, furniture and buying costs. That is the net yield.
Guaranteed yield
Some projects offer a fixed return for a few years. Check who guarantees it and what happens afterwards.
