Calculation method

Calculation method

DSCR = annual net operating income ÷ annual principal-and-interest debt service.

Entered fixed decimals use exact rational arithmetic. Money rounds only for display; a supported nonzero amount is never replaced by a misleading zero.

Worked example

Worked example

NOI of 130,000 and annual debt service of 100,000 produce a DSCR of 1.3×.

DSCR = annual net operating income ÷ annual principal-and-interest debt service.

Supported inputs

Precision and limits

Visible input limits

Amounts accept up to 30 digits and 12 decimal places and are capped at 1e12 per input. Rates are capped at 1000%; signed value-change rates cannot be below −100%.

International scope

No currency, tax regime, tenancy law, lender threshold, local market database, appraisal standard, or jurisdiction-specific fee is assumed.

Decision boundary

The result is an arithmetic scenario based on visitor-entered figures, not an appraisal, forecast, lending decision, legal determination, or investment recommendation.

Calculator-specific assumptions

Lenders may define NOI and debt service differently. This calculator applies only the entered figures and does not represent loan approval or covenant compliance.
