Rental Yields in Monaco: What a Luxury Property Really Earns
Gross yield is the number brochures quote. This is what a luxury property in Monaco earns after the costs nobody prints.

In short
Well-chosen luxury property in Monaco produces 2–2.5% gross. Net returns typically land one to two percentage points lower after management, service charges and vacancy.
The gross number
2–2.5% gross in Monaco. That is the number to start from, not the number to plan with.
Two square kilometres, no personal income tax for residents, and consistent excess demand. Monaco is a residency and preservation decision expressed through property.
What comes off the top
Service charges, management fees, letting commission, insurance, maintenance reserve and void periods. In prime markets these routinely absorb a fifth to a third of gross rent, and service charges on branded or amenity-heavy buildings are the most commonly underestimated line.
Tax matters too: no personal income tax for residents; no annual property tax
Where the demand actually is
Carré d'Or: The prime core; near-zero availability.
Larvotto: Beachfront, new-build supply.
Fontvieille: Marina-facing, larger floorplates.
How we underwrite it
Ten months of occupancy, three years of comparable evidence, and a resale assumption of flat real pricing. If the case only works on twelve months and rising rents, it is not a case — it is a hope.
Advertised availability is largely off-market. Access matters more than search portals.
