How do I calculate net yield?
Updated 2/13/2026
Tl;dr
Net yield = gross income − all fees/costs, annualized—compare across offerings.
Start with gross income, subtract fees and costs, and annualize. Compare offerings on net yield and liquidity, not headline APYs.

Checklist

Examples
- Example: $20,000 diversified across 4 assets at 6% net yield → ~$1,200/year

Risks & Alternatives
- Headline APY can mask fees and variability
- Sector or regional shocks can reduce distributions
FAQs
Is tokenized real estate safer than crypto?
It may have lower volatility and clearer fundamentals; always read offering docs and diversify.
How do fees and net yield work?
Fees are disclosed in offering docs; measure net yield after all costs.
Can I invest from my country?
Eligibility depends on jurisdiction and product; complete KYC/AML and check local rules.
