Where your rent goes: cash flow and profit — map — Furnished flat-share in Melun — LMNP · ID 02LMNP
Year 1's rent: the costs, the loan interest and the tax are money lost; what is left is your profit — part of it as cash (the cash flow after tax), part of it as loan capital repaid (more of the property is yours).

- the result
Year 1: rent €19,665 − costs €6,603 − loan payments €7,507 = €5,555 before tax; − tax €0 = €5,555 of cash after tax; + €3,958 of capital repaid = €9,513 of profit after tax (48.37% of the rent).
What this calculation leaves out
- The capital repaid is counted twice on purpose: it leaves with the loan payments (cash) and comes back in the profit (it becomes a share of the property). The loan interest does not come back.
- The interest on your rental account (earned, or paid to a lender) and the flat tax on the interest earned are not on this chart; the tax shown is the year’s income tax and social contributions as worked out for your regime: see “Your wealth over time”.
Each amount in the worked lines is rounded to the cent, so a line can differ by €0.01.
