TL;DR Quick answer for real estate investors

DSCR Calculator — Calculate the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for an investment property. DSCR = Monthly Gross Rent ÷ Monthly PITIA. Commercial multifamily lenders use a different version of this ratio — net operating income divided by annual debt service — which subtracts vacancy, management and reserves. Residential DSCR lending on one-to-four unit property uses gross rent, which is what this calculator computes. Most DSCR loan programs require minimum 1.0x; better pricing kicks in at 1.20x+.

What DSCR Means

DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) measures how well a property's rental income covers its mortgage and expenses. It's the primary qualification metric for DSCR investor loans.

DSCR = Monthly Gross Rent ÷ Monthly PITIA

Where PITIA = Principal + Interest + Taxes + Insurance + Association fees (HOA).
