With these figures you put in €56,850 and you make €169 a month after tax; the return comes mainly from capital growth (IRR 11.5% over 10 years).

How it's calculated

Return on equity (cash-on-cash): year-1 net cash flow divided by all the money that comes out of your pocket (deposit, purchase taxes and costs, refurbishment, furniture and mortgage costs). Total ROI in year 1 adds to the cash flow the part of the mortgage you pay down and the estimated capital growth. IRR: the equivalent annual return of all the cash flows, including the sale net of costs, taxes and debt.

España: transfer tax (ITP) by region (standard 2026 rates, without special regional reductions); 10% VAT + stamp duty (AJD) on new builds. Income tax (IRPF): net rental income = income − expenses − depreciation (3% of the building, 10% of furniture); interest and repairs capped at the income. The art. 23.2 reduction applies only to long-term lets. The tax is worked out as the difference in your general-scale tax (state + average regional); a net loss reduces your income tax. The gain on sale is taxed in the savings base.

Capital growth by area is an indicative long-term estimate, not a forecast. For reference, the INE (Instituto Nacional de Estadística) recorded a year-on-year rise of 14.3% in Comunitat Valenciana in the first quarter of 2026 (national average 12.9%); these are rates from a rising cycle and shouldn't be projected over 10 years. This tool is indicative and does not replace advice from a tax adviser.
