Where your rent goes, year after year — T2 in Le Mée-sur-Seine — micro-foncier · ID 03Micro-foncierRent split → money lost / capital repaid / cash kept

This page shows where each year's rent goes: the money lost, the capital repaid and the cash kept after tax. Result for year 1: of €7,260 rent, €8,404 is lost, €3,121 repays the loan and €4,265 of cash after tax is missing (paid from your pocket) — profit -€1,144, -15.75% of the rent.

Where each number comes from

Each link opens the page that calculates that figure.

  1. Cash flow before tax (rent − costs − loan payments) Cash Flow
  2. Income tax, social contributions and cash flow after tax Taxable income × (your bracket + 17.2%), CSG tax back the next year
  3. Loan paid off (equity built) Equity from Loan
Part 1. From the rent to the money lostLost_t = running costs + loan interest + tax of the year

The running costs and the loan interest are the ones of the cash flow page; the tax of the year comes from the tax page. Added together they are the red top part of each bar: money that is spent and never comes back.

Part 2. A loan payment splits into interest and capitalPayment = Interest + Principal (+ Insurance); Profit = Principal + Cash flow

Only the interest part of the loan payment is lost; the capital repaid lowers what you owe the bank, so it is yours. That is why the profit (rent − costs) is larger than the cash flow by exactly the capital repaid.

Part 3. What is left for you: capital repaid + cash = profitRent = Lost + Principal + Cash after tax; share kept = Profit after tax ÷ Rent

The cash kept after tax is the cash flow minus the tax of the year. What is left for you, the profit after tax, is the capital repaid plus that cash — the top of the green part of the bar — and equally the rent minus the money lost. The share of the rent you keep is that profit divided by the rent, shown next to the year when you point at the chart.

  • =Profit after tax(-€1,144)
  • Capital repaid€3,121
  • +Cash kept after tax(-€4,265)
  • =Profit after tax(-€1,144)

Year 1: of the €7,260 rent, nothing stays yours — the money lost is €1,144 more than the rent (-15.75% of the rent).

A negative cash kept after tax is drawn below zero on the chart: the rent did not cover all the costs and the capital repaid, and the difference came out of your pocket.

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.

Loan principal/interest (the “Your inputs and one-off costs” section's loan repayment schedule) reflect Year 1's figures — for a bank-stated loan, the bank's payment, split into interest and principal as in the projection; property tax/syndic reflect Year 1's figures grown at their own rates (the “Your inputs and one-off costs” section). Insurance, accountant, and bank fees have no growth assumption in this model, so they stay at their entered monthly amount every year. The income tax and social contributions above are paid once a year, not monthly.
