DSCR Calculator

See whether a rental property’s estimated operating income covers its mortgage payment. Enter monthly amounts below to calculate debt service coverage ratio, annual NOI and cash flow.

DSCR = annual net operating income ÷ annual debt service. This is an estimate; lender underwriting can use different income, expense and reserve assumptions.

Income per month

Operating costs per month

Include recurring property costs here. Do not include mortgage principal or interest in these fields.

Debt payment per month

How to use this number

Check the assumptions behind the ratio.

A DSCR of 1.00× means estimated NOI equals annual debt service. A higher result means more income remains after the debt payment. Rent, vacancy, repairs and loan terms can change the answer quickly.

For a lender quote, ask which expenses, reserves and debt payments it includes. This calculator uses a simple property NOI method; lender-approved DSCR may differ.
