Negative gearing allows investors to deduct a rental property loss from their taxable income. Tax savings are realised at year end via tax return. Future policy changes may affect deductibility.
What is the Negative Gearing Calculator?
Negative gearing occurs when a property's rental income is less than its total deductible expenses (interest, rates, insurance, depreciation, management fees). The loss is deducted against your other taxable income, reducing your tax bill at your marginal rate.
Formula
Rental Loss = Total Costs − Rental Income. Tax Saving = Rental Loss × Marginal Rate. Net Cost = Rental Loss − Tax Saving.- C
- = Total deductible costs
- R
- = Rental income
- r_m
- = Marginal tax rate
