The formula

Know exactly what the calculator is doing.

NOI = effective gross income - operating expenses; DSCR = NOI / annual debt service

NOI excludes loan principal and interest. Cash flow then subtracts debt service from NOI, keeping property performance and financing performance distinct.

A durable workflow

Use the result as a decision aid, not a verdict.

01

Build effective income

Start with scheduled income and subtract a realistic vacancy and credit-loss allowance.

02

Include complete operations

Add taxes, insurance, management, maintenance, utilities, association, and reserves.

03

Separate debt from NOI

Calculate property-level NOI first, then debt coverage and cash flow.

Important limits

What this calculation cannot know.

  • Cap rate based on purchase price does not include acquisition or renovation cost unless you add them to the basis.
  • DSCR definitions and expense treatment vary by lender.
  • Capital expenditures and reserves should not disappear simply because accounting or lender presentations differ.

Common questions

Understand the terms before using the output.

What is NOI?

Net operating income is effective property income minus operating expenses before debt service and income tax.

What is DSCR?

Debt service coverage ratio compares NOI with required debt payments over the same period.

What is a good DSCR?

Requirements vary by lender, asset, borrower, and program. Review the actual term sheet rather than relying on a universal threshold.

Does NOI include the mortgage?

No. Debt service is excluded from NOI and used afterward to calculate DSCR and cash flow.

Should reserves be an operating expense?

For underwriting, include a realistic reserve or capital allowance somewhere visible even if a lender or accounting presentation classifies it differently.
