FAQ

DSCR calculator, explained

What is DSCR?

The debt-service coverage ratio measures how many times a property's net operating income covers its annual debt payments. A DSCR of 1.25× means NOI is 25% above the debt service.

What DSCR do lenders require?

Most commercial lenders look for a minimum around 1.20×–1.25×, though it varies by asset class, loan program, and market conditions.

What counts as debt service?

Annual debt service is the total of principal and interest payments on the loan over a year. Use the fully-amortizing payment, not interest-only, unless the loan is interest-only.
