Rental debt cover and cash-on-cash Calculator

Assess pre-tax rental cash return and mortgage coverage. This free rental debt cover and cash-on-cash calculator shows the calculation and its assumptions so you can compare your own figures.

How the rental debt cover and cash-on-cash calculation works

Net operating income divided by debt service; remaining cash divided by cash invested.

Debt service includes capital and interest; operating costs exclude both. Equity gain from capital repayment is not cash income.

  1. Enter your own figures in the labelled inputs. Keep the currencies, units and time periods consistent.
  2. Choose any applicable rate profile, pattern or assumption shown for this tool. Open additional inputs when relevant.
  3. Review debt service coverage ratio and cash on cash return percent, then read the stated assumptions and eligibility conditions before using the result.
