Your real return, inflation-adjusted

4.9-year real purchasing power

The numbers above are nominal. Subtract inflation and compare to a term deposit to see whether this property actually built wealth.

Nominal capital gain
Sale price − purchase price, book value (implies 9.41% p.a.)
+$550,000
Inflation erosion
Purchase × ((1+CPI)^4.9) − Purchase, CPI 2.5% p.a. compounded
−$127,921
Net cash flow (holding period)
Total rent − total holding cost + refund (if any)
−$48,750
CGT at sale
Holding-period CGT (new rules, incl. 30% floor + indexation)

Real purchasing power change
After inflation + CGT, cumulative real return over 4.9 years
+$256,371
Real annualised return
Compare to 4.5% term deposit — if it doesn't beat that, your opportunity cost is huge
+4.79%
✅ Real 4.79% p.a. — beats a term deposit (4.5%). This property actually built wealth for you.
📊 You beat 91% of 800 typical Australian investment-property scenariosBased on modelled scenarios using CoreLogic 10y state-level capital growth + ABS rental yield + ATO marginal brackets — not real-user data
💼 The same money in a 4.5% term deposit for 4.9 years would have earned $239,343 (zero risk)
