Frequently Asked Questions

Free NOI Calculator for Real Estate Investors

Net Operating Income (NOI) is one of the most important metrics in real estate investing. Our free NOI calculator helps you quickly determine a property's operating income by subtracting operating expenses from effective gross income. Whether you're analyzing a potential investment, preparing for a real estate exam, or evaluating your current portfolio, this tool provides the insights you need.

Why NOI Matters in Real Estate

NOI is the foundation for several critical investment calculations. It's used to determine cap rate (NOI divided by property value), which helps compare investments. Lenders use NOI to calculate Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) when qualifying commercial loans. And investors use NOI to value properties using the income capitalization approach.

Operating Expenses: What Counts

Only operating expenses are included in NOI calculations - not financing costs or capital expenditures. Operating expenses include property taxes, insurance, maintenance, property management fees, utilities (if owner-paid), and HOA fees. Mortgage payments, major renovations, and income taxes are excluded because they vary by investor, not by property.

Using NOI for Investment Decisions

A strong NOI indicates a property's ability to generate income from operations. Compare NOI across similar properties to identify the best investment opportunities. Track NOI over time to measure property performance and identify areas for improvement. Remember that increasing NOI through higher rents or lower expenses directly increases property value in the eyes of investors and appraisers.
