What it works out

How an HMO is worked out

The calculator uses the number of rooms, the rent for each room and the licensing costs. It does not treat the house as a single let.

Room-by-room cash flow

Set the rent and occupancy for each room separately, so a part-let HMO shows its own figures rather than an average.

Return on the money left in

Cash-on-cash return is worked out on the money left in the deal after refurbishment and licensing, as well as the headline yield.

Stamp duty

The 5% additional-property surcharge, with the company rules (relief for a rental business, the 17% flat rate for one that does not qualify) and non-UK resident options, is worked out alongside your HMO figures. Rates checked on 10 October 2026.
