Premium Google Sheets spreadsheet

Property Investment Spreadsheet Australia | Google Sheets Template

Google Sheets property investment spreadsheet for Australia. Track deductions, negative gearing, CGT, land tax, depreciation, and cash flow from $29.99.

Two types of depreciation

Division 43 + Division 40

The ATO allows deductions for both building structure and plant & equipment

A quantity surveyor's depreciation schedule typically identifies significant deductions, particularly for properties built after 1985. This spreadsheet models both categories automatically.

Scenario-modelling tool, not advice

This spreadsheet is an educational scenario-modelling tool. It is not tax, financial, legal, lending or investment advice, and not a recommendation to buy, sell, hold, rent, borrow, refinance, claim a deduction, lodge a return, or use any structure (SMSF, trust or company). Outputs are estimates that depend on your inputs and assumptions.

Do not use the spreadsheet as the sole basis for any property, tax, finance or investment decision. We do not review your inputs, verify your assumptions, or assess whether the tool is suitable for you. See the Disclaimer and Spreadsheet Assumptions for the full scope of what is and is not modelled.

If you are comparing paid property investment spreadsheet templates in Australia, this is the Google Sheets version built for buyers who want more than a one-off calculator result. Use it for reusable scenario modelling, hold/sell scenario estimates, and property-by-property cash flow modelling in one connected file.

Starter covers one-property tax-time recordkeeping, Pro covers up to 3 properties and 10-year projections, and Complete covers up to 5 properties and 30-year portfolio modelling. Outputs are estimates based on your inputs and assumptions — not tax, financial, legal or investment advice.

If you arrived here from a calculator or tax table, match the tier to the spreadsheet scope you need. Starter keeps one property organised for tax-time handover. Pro connects up to 3 properties with land tax, depreciation, CGT, and 10-year cash flow. Complete is for portfolio-level modelling across up to 5 properties and longer 30-year scenarios.

If your search is really for an investment property tax deductions spreadsheet, this page is the broader option: it tracks deductible categories, depreciation, land tax, and negative gearing, then carries those deductions through to after-tax cash flow and sale modelling. If you only need one-property tax-time records, start with the ATO rental property worksheet.

Use the smallest tier that fits the recordkeeping or modelling scope: Starter for tax-time records, Pro for a practical multi-property model, and Complete when a longer portfolio view matters more than a quick one-property file.

Budget 2026 update: current-law spreadsheet model

The 2026-27 Federal Budget announced CGT and negative-gearing changes from 1 July 2027. This spreadsheet still models the supported 2025-26 current-law settings described on this page and in the workbook notes. It does not include a 2027 Budget mode, new-build CGT choice, or established-housing transition rule. Read the Budget 2026 CGT and negative gearing explainer for the official-source summary before treating long-term scenarios as adviser-ready assumptions. (Budget 2026-27 - Tax reform)

Why a spreadsheet?

Common tax rates and thresholds are modelled from published ATO and state revenue office sources, so for a given set of inputs the spreadsheet produces an estimate you can reproduce. The spreadsheet applies those rates and lets you model scenarios with your own numbers, saving you from building complex 30-year cash flow formulas from scratch. Outputs remain estimates subject to your inputs and the assumptions listed on the Spreadsheet Assumptions page.

The free calculators on this site handle individual calculations — negative gearing, CGT, land tax, rental yield. The spreadsheet integrates them into one model so that related figures stay connected:

  • After-tax weekly holding cost (combining rental income, loan repayments, modelled tax effects, and expenses)
  • Projected cash flow over 5, 10, or 30 years with adjustable growth assumptions
  • Interest rate sensitivity — adjust the rate and see the effect on every linked figure
  • Land tax comparison across states for the same property value
  • Hold/sell scenario estimate with estimated CGT on disposal

Change one input and every downstream number updates.

Common use cases

  • Estimating after-tax weekly holding-cost scenarios for a potential property
  • Comparing the land tax impact of buying in different states
  • Modelling hold/sell scenario estimates, including estimated CGT on disposal
  • Projecting cash flow over multiple years with adjustable growth and interest rate assumptions
  • Preparing a rental property summary before meeting with an accountant

Included calculations

This spreadsheet integrates negative gearing, CGT, land tax, depreciation, rental yield, and cash flow into one model:

  1. Negative gearing tax-effect estimates (using current marginal tax rates)
  2. Capital gains tax estimates (with 50% discount and cost base adjustments)
  3. State land tax (all Australian states and territories)
  4. Depreciation (Division 40 plant and equipment + Division 43 capital works)
  5. Net rental yield (with 18+ expense categories)
  6. Multi-year cash flow projections (with capital growth and interest rate modelling)

The spreadsheet is delivered as a Google Sheet, accessible on any device.

Deductions tracking without missed categories

The spreadsheet is designed to work like an investment property tax deductions spreadsheet, not just a simple yield model. Pro and Complete include 18+ expense categories, depreciation inputs, land tax, borrowing-cost context, and the negative gearing impact of those deductions in the same file.

That matters because the categories investors most often miss are usually the ones that sit outside a simple rent-minus-interest view: depreciation, land tax, borrowing costs, landlord insurance, and body corporate items. If deductions tracking is your main goal, compare this page with the ATO rental property worksheet and the investment property deductions guide.

Starter is for EOFY recordkeeping. Pro is for up to 3 properties, land tax, depreciation, CGT, refinancing scenario inputs, and hold/sell scenario estimates.

Australian tax rules only

Every rate and threshold is sourced from the ATO and state revenue offices. This is not a US template adapted for Australia — all formulas are built on Australian tax legislation.

The progressive tax brackets, the LITO phaseout, the Medicare levy, and the state-specific land tax thresholds are modelled on the published rates for the financial year shown on this page.

What’s NOT included in the free calculator

The free web calculators on this site handle individual calculations one at a time. The spreadsheet adds the features that serious property investors need:

  • Multi-year projections (10-30 years) — see how your cash flow changes as rent rises, loans amortise, and depreciation declines
  • Multi-property portfolio modelling (up to 5 properties) — track how each purchase affects your marginal tax rate and total out-of-pocket cost
  • Hold/sell scenario estimate — model estimated CGT at different exit years alongside projected holding costs (outputs are estimates, not recommendations)
  • Data persistence and customisation — save your numbers, adjust assumptions, and revisit scenarios any time
  • Shareable with your accountant — send a link instead of explaining your numbers from memory

Why use this spreadsheet?

Many property investment spreadsheet options differ less by headline price than by format, editability, and how easily you can reuse your scenarios. This model is built in Google Sheets so you can keep your own copy, review formulas, adjust assumptions, and share a link with your adviser when you want a second opinion.

Business licence for accountants and advisers

If you want to use the spreadsheet inside an accounting, mortgage, buyer’s-agent, or financial advice practice, contact us for the right business licence instead of buying a personal tier.

Business licences are intended for internal business use only: internal reviews, staff workflow, or scenario modelling inside one business. They do not allow resale, white-labelling, redistribution, client-facing advice, lodgement support, or use as a tax, financial, legal, lending, or investment advice service. Your business remains responsible for its own licensing, client advice, suitability checks, file notes, and professional obligations.

Need a business licence now? Contact us with your use case and preferred tier. We will confirm the right licence and pricing for your practice.

Try before you buy

Not sure if you need the spreadsheet? Start with our free calculators:

The free calculators handle one calculation at a time. The spreadsheet connects them so that changing one assumption updates every related figure. If you have already used the calculators and want to keep the scenario, this is the step where the one-off estimate becomes a reusable model.

Frequently asked questions

Does the spreadsheet include a rent vs buy comparison?
Yes. The Pro and Complete tiers include a dedicated Rent vs Buy tab that models the cost of renting while investing (rentvesting) alongside the cost of buying the same property as your home, using the assumptions you enter. It shows a crossover year (where escalating rent exceeds the mortgage on your assumptions), year-by-year estimated cost and net wealth for both scenarios, and the modelled negative-gearing tax effect. The Complete tier includes a column for a user-entered non-property return assumption so you can compare against a separate return you choose. The tab is a scenario worksheet, not a recommendation to rent, buy, or invest in any particular asset.
What format is the spreadsheet?
Google Sheets. You'll receive a link to make your own copy. It works on any device — desktop, tablet, or phone — with no software to install. All formulas are included and update automatically as you enter your numbers.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Google Sheets runs entirely in your browser. You just need a free Google account. There is nothing to download or install.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. Google Sheets has a free mobile app for both iOS and Android, and the spreadsheet also works in mobile browsers. You can check your numbers on the go.
Are the tax rates current?
The spreadsheet uses the 2025–26 ATO income tax brackets shown on this page together with the land tax and depreciation settings referenced in the Reference Rates tab. Check the last updated date and linked sources before relying on it for lodgement, planning, or a purchase scenario.
Does the spreadsheet include the Budget 2026 CGT and negative-gearing changes?
No. The spreadsheet currently models the supported 2025-26 settings described on this page. It does not include a 2027 Budget mode, new-build CGT choice, or established-housing transition rule. The Budget 2026 explainer summarises the official announcement. (Budget 2026-27 - Tax reform)
Can I update the rates myself?
Yes. All rates are clearly labelled in the Reference Rates tab. You can update them yourself when new rates are announced. Complete tier customers receive tax-year updates for the supported financial years — when a refreshed validated template is published, you can use your secure access link to obtain the latest version.
How is this different from the free calculators on this site?
The free web calculators handle one calculation at a time. The spreadsheet integrates everything — negative gearing, CGT projections, land tax (all states), depreciation schedules, and multi-year cash flow — in one connected model. Change a rental income assumption and every downstream calculation updates automatically. It also saves your data so you can revisit and compare scenarios.
How does the hold/sell scenario estimate work?
Enter your current property details and a potential sale price. The Pro and Complete tiers estimate the CGT (including the 50% discount for properties held over 12 months), compare the estimated after-tax proceeds of selling against the projected after-tax position of continuing to hold on the assumptions you enter, and show an indicative break-even year. The output is a scenario estimate to help you structure the conversation with your accountant — not a recommendation to hold or sell.
Do I need Excel?
No. The spreadsheet is built for Google Sheets, which is free. You do not need Microsoft Excel, though you can download it as an Excel file if you prefer (some formatting may differ).
Is this financial advice?
No. The spreadsheet provides general information only. It uses publicly available ATO rates and formulas to help you estimate your property investment position. It is not personal financial, tax, or investment advice. Consider speaking with a registered tax agent or qualified financial adviser for advice specific to your situation.
What if the formulas are wrong?
If the spreadsheet has a major defect — broken formulas or incorrect calculations — you are entitled to a refund under Australian Consumer Law. We review formulas against official ATO and state revenue office materials and investigate any reported discrepancy. If you spot an issue, let us know and we'll review it.
How do Complete tier updates work?
When new ATO rates are announced (usually around May–June each year), we update the validated master spreadsheet. Complete tier customers can use their secure access link to obtain the latest validated version. Your existing data stays in your copy — you just transfer your numbers to the new sheet.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, if the spreadsheet has a major defect (broken formulas, incorrect calculations). We do not offer refunds for change of mind, as the product is a digital download that cannot be returned. This is consistent with Australian Consumer Law for digital products.
Do you offer a business licence for accountants or advisers?
Yes. If you need to use the spreadsheet inside an accounting, mortgage, buyer's-agent, or financial advice practice, contact us for business licence pricing and the right licence for your use case. Business licences are for internal business use only; they do not allow resale, white-labelling, redistribution, client-facing advice, lodgement support, or use as a substitute for your own professional obligations.
