How this calculation works

NOI=effective income-operating expenses; cap=NOI/property value.

NOI excludes financing, income taxes, depreciation and capital expenditure. Value is supplied, not a market appraisal or investment 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 effective property income (selected currency): Annual effective operating income after collection/vacancy loss.
  • Annual operating expenses (selected currency): Annual operating expense before financing/depreciation/capital spending.
  • Entered property value (selected currency): User-supplied value, not market appraisal.

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

Separate operating return from financing and capital spending.

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.
