Compare total property cash returned with total equity invested.
It keeps income, operating costs, financing, invested cash, value, timing, and exit assumptions explicit so you can reproduce the result and compare genuinely consistent scenarios.
Calculation structure
Keep income, costs, and value in the right period
Equity multiple = (cash distributions + net sale proceeds) ÷ equity invested.
Visual explanation

Income + valueReturn
÷
Cost or equityInvestment base
Equity multiple = (cash distributions + net sale proceeds) ÷ equity invested.
Read the result correctly
Use the result with its boundaries
60,000 distributions plus 180,000 sale proceeds on 100,000 equity equals 2.4×.
Equity multiple ignores timing; use property IRR when the timing of returns matters.

How to use this calculator
Enter a single internally consistent property scenario.
Use the field labels to preserve each page's specific investment, transaction, lease, development, or lodging convention.
Review the calculator-specific boundary before interpreting the result.
Calculation method
Calculation method
Equity multiple = (cash distributions + net sale proceeds) ÷ equity invested.
Entered fixed decimals use exact rational arithmetic except the explicitly approximate IRR root. Money rounds only for display and supported nonzero amounts remain visible.

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. Whole-number periods are capped at the page's stated range; rates are capped at 1000%.
International scope
No currency, tax regime, lease law, lender threshold, local market feed, appraisal, or jurisdiction-specific charge is assumed.
Decision boundary
Results are visitor-entered arithmetic scenarios, not appraisals, forecasts, loan approvals, legal or tax determinations, or investment recommendations.
Calculator-specific assumptions
Equity multiple ignores timing; use property IRR when the timing of returns matters.
