Analyze a Rental Property

A simple calculator for screening a rental. It is a planning tool built on your assumptions, not a prediction or a guarantee of returns.

Calculator

Estimate the numbers

Enter your assumptions below. The calculator shows its formulas and does not guess the numbers for you. Fields for price, rent, taxes and insurance start blank so nothing implies a real property.

Reading the results

What the numbers mean

NOI

Net operating income: rent minus operating expenses, before loan payments.

Cap rate

Annual NOI divided by purchase price. It compares properties without considering financing.

DSCR

NOI divided by loan payments. Lenders often want a cushion above 1.0.

Cash-on-cash return

Annual cash flow divided by the cash you invest.
