About This Template
Calculate Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) instantly with this free Excel template. Essential for commercial real estate investors, lenders, and analysts who need to evaluate a property's ability to cover its debt obligations.
What You Can Calculate
This template provides five key metrics from just three inputs:
- DSCR — The ratio of NOI to debt service, measuring cash flow cushion
- Maximum Debt Service — The highest annual payment your NOI can support at your target DSCR
- Required NOI — The income needed to achieve your target DSCR with your current debt
- DSCR Rating — Automatic interpretation from Negative Cash Flow to Very Strong Coverage
- Excess Cash Flow — Annual cash remaining after debt service
Required Inputs
- Net Operating Income (NOI) — Annual gross income minus operating expenses (before debt service)
- Annual Debt Service — Total principal and interest payments per year
- Target DSCR — Your lender's minimum requirement or investment threshold (typically 1.20x-1.40x)
Methodology
The template uses standard commercial real estate formulas:
- DSCR = NOI / Debt Service — Values above 1.0x indicate positive cash flow
- Max Debt Service = NOI / Target DSCR — Solve for maximum supportable debt payment
- Required NOI = Debt Service x Target DSCR — Solve for income needed
Assumptions & Limitations
- All figures are annual (multiply monthly debt service by 12)
- Debt service includes P&I only — confirm with your lender if escrows apply
- DSCR ratings are general guidelines; actual lender requirements vary by property type and market
