What Is a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)?

The Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) is a financial metric used by lenders to determine a property’s ability to pay its mortgage obligations from its net operating income (NOI).

Formula:
DSCR = Net Operating Income / Total Debt Service

Example:
If a property generates $12,000 in annual NOI and the mortgage payments total $10,000, then the DSCR is 1.20.

That means the property earns 20% more income than needed to cover its loan payments, a healthy ratio in the eyes of most lenders.
