Calculate cash flow, cap rate, and ROI for your rental property investment.
What is the Rental Property Calculator & How does it work?
The Rental Property Calculator helps investors determine the financial viability of a potential rental property. By inputting key metrics such as purchase price, annual rent, and expenses, you can calculate the cash flow, capitalization rate (cap rate), and return on investment (ROI). These metrics provide insights into the profitability and risk of your investment.
Cash Flow is the net income generated by a property after all expenses are paid. It’s calculated as Annual Rent minus Total Expenses. A positive cash flow indicates that the property is generating more money than it costs to operate.
The Capitalization Rate (Cap Rate) measures the potential return on an investment property based on its current market value and income generated by the property. It’s calculated as Annual Net Operating Income divided by the Property Value. A higher cap rate indicates a potentially better investment.
