Landlord Calculation? Anything Missing?

    Hey there.

    Just looking to do a basic landlord calculation.

    Apartment Rented for 1500 a month.

    Rental Income per year 18000.

    Expenses

    Repairs 500 Insurance 400 Mgmt Charges 1500

    Total 2400.

    Profit 15600

    Income Tax at 40pc is 6240 PRSI 4pc is 624 USC 8pc is 1248

    Total 8112

    Overall Profit 15600-8112 is 7488.

    Assuming Mortgage is 1k a month that's 12k a year.

    Overall loss 12k-7488 is 4512

    This is assuming no interest relief from 2021 and perfect tenants.

    Why would anyone want to be a landlord to lose money each year!?

    And what about property being sold later on, or that doesnt count?

    Ps the amount taxed is only a difference between rent and mortgage so the calculation is nowhere near correct.

    The amount taxed would be 1500 rent - 1000 mortgage = 500, so 500 is taxed.

    So overall its profit only + ability to sell afterwards.

    "Lose money", you are gaining an asset you can sell for hundreds of thousands at a huge discount.

    If you are asking boards to check your tax calculations to become a landlord I dont think you have researched this enough. My advice? Dont event think about it.

    Are they the same thing?

    With the idea of a massive sell-off of rental properties?
    Or with the idea of ripping a whole in renters 2nd pocket, the one that covers childcare and what not leading to less and less population needing the house in the first place?

    AFAIK, the taxed amount is = rent - interest on the mortgage.

    this is incorrect.

    The rent is taxable as income (not the profit) but there are some expenses permitted as deductions including management fees, insurance and the interest portion of the mortgage. Until recently not even all the interest portion of the mortgage payments was deductible. Mortgage interest payments for buy to let mortgages are higher than for principal private residence mortgages, typically around 5% per annum or so.

    However as other posters have pointed out paying off the amount you borrow in a mortgage is the same as saving, when the property is eventually sold the landlord can keep the difference between the sale price and the amount of the mortgage that remains outstanding, less capital gains tax of course.

    Aha makes sense. So landlord would have been getting 2 things so far:
    mortgage interest relief when buying +tax relief for landlords and both of these are then gone in 2021?

    Potentially good when it comes to rent pressure zones.
    And I guess the plan is to prevent investing into rentals so you wouldnt have a case where new properties come out at insane prices to cover this cost.

    As has been stated thousands of times, it's the mortgage interest that is one of the several deductions from gross rental income, in order to calculate net rental profits.

    How anybody can even consider buying/owning or even talking about rental property without knowing this is beyond me.

    You are missing the most important thing as explained

    The mortgage interest payment is an allowable expenses, against gross rental income.

    The mortgage capital repayment is of course a form of saving, building up an asset.

    Its not really a loss though is it, your gaining a huge asset at the end for a fraction of the price, You would rent it out if you could not afford the mortgage in the first place, huge difference between being a landlord with a property you own, compared to being a landlord with a property the bank owns

    1. Employer gives you money each month. You pay tax on this income.

    2. Tenant gives you money each month. You pay tax on this income.

    It doesnt matter if there is a mortgage or not.

    It is all income.

    How is this difficult to understand?

    Reread what I and others had said. The relief being removed is not the landlord relief. Read about the relevant relief here
    https://www.revenue.ie/en/property/rental-income/irish-rental-income/what-expenses-are-allowed.aspx

    A whole 100% of the interest can be deducted. Frankly, I think you are trying to troll.

    The amount you pay on a mortgage is not a loss. It's a repayment of a loan.

    Every repayment you make increases your equity in the property.

    Assuming you rented it out for the lifetime of the mortgage then you will not have paid anywhere near the value of the property, your tenants will have.

    That's the true value of being a buy to let landlord. Accumulating a valuable asset.

    You cannot expect to make a monthly profit with a large mortgage.

    How much of the mortgage payment is capital? You do not take that into account in determining profit or loss although it is negative cash flow. There are plenty of rental apartments bought in late boom which may not have any significant positive cash flow when account is taken of total mortgage payments etc.
