How the DSCR

CalCulator Works

  • DSCR Formula: DSCR=Monthly Net Operating Income (NOI)Monthly Debt Service\text{DSCR} = \frac{\text{Monthly Net Operating Income (NOI)}}{\text{Monthly Debt Service}}

  • Monthly NOI typically means Rental Income minus Operating Expenses (property taxes, insurance, maintenance, etc.).

  • Monthly Debt Service is your projected principal + interest payment (or interest-only if applicable).

    Disclaimer: The calculations here are estimates only. Actual loan terms and ratios may vary based on full underwriting, credit profile, and property details.

  1. Monthly Rental Income: Enter the total rent you collect (or expect to collect) from tenants each month.

  2. Monthly Operating Expenses: Include property taxes, insurance, maintenance, HOA fees, and any other routine costs.

  3. Loan Amount: The principal you plan to borrow.

  4. Interest Rate: Input the annual rate for your mortgage, e.g., 5.5.

  5. Loan Term: The number of years (e.g., 30) for which you’ll repay the loan.

Upon clicking “Calculate DSCR,” the code estimates your monthly mortgage payment (based on a standard amortization formula), subtracts your operating expenses from your rental income to get Net Operating Income (NOI), and then divides NOI by the monthly mortgage payment. The resulting ratio (e.g., 1.20) indicates whether the property’s cash flow sufficiently covers its debt.

Important: DSCR thresholds vary by lender and loan product. Many investors aim for a minimum of around 1.20–1.25, meaning the property’s net income is 20–25% higher than the monthly payment.
