How this calculation works

DSCR=NOI/annual debt service.

Use NOI before financing, income taxes and depreciation. Debt service includes scheduled principal and interest. No lender eligibility, covenant interpretation or credit recommendation.

What information do I need?

Use records for the same job, equipment or accounting period. Only the fields for your selected entry method are required. An unknown amount is not zero.

Input definitions and where to find them
  • Annual net operating income (currency/year): Annual operating income less operating expenses before debt, depreciation and income tax.
  • Scheduled annual debt service (currency/year): Annual scheduled principal plus interest from statements.

Use the Where to find this value controls beside the inputs for available work-it-out helpers. Estimates remain your assumptions; a helper does not verify the source figures.

Use the result well

Measure stated NOI against scheduled annual debt service.

Keep inputs on the same scope and time basis. Calculations retain precision internally; displayed values generally round to two decimal places, with extra precision for very small values and whole-unit rounding where required. Economic comparisons describe your supplied assumptions and do not guarantee future results.
