Calculation method
Calculation method
Break-even ratio = (operating expenses + debt service) ÷ gross operating income × 100%.
Entered fixed decimals use exact rational arithmetic except the explicitly approximate IRR root. Money rounds only for display and supported nonzero amounts remain visible.
Worked example
Worked example
40,000 expenses plus 50,000 debt service against 120,000 income gives 75%.
Break-even ratio = (operating expenses + debt service) ÷ gross operating income × 100%.
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
Unlike break-even occupancy, this ratio compares entered monetary totals directly.
