Question
How is this different from the real estate calculator?
The real estate calculator is broader and leans on appreciation, hold period, and exit proceeds. This page is tighter: it focuses on financed rental underwriting and monthly cash flow.
Financial
Use OmniCalc's rental property calculator to estimate monthly cash flow, cap rate, DSCR, and cash-on-cash return for a financed rental investment.
Rental property calculator
Use purchase price, upfront cash, rent, vacancy, operating expenses, and financing terms to estimate monthly cash flow and core rental underwriting metrics.
Why this result matters
A financed rental-property underwriting tool focused on vacancy, operating expenses, mortgage burden, cap rate, and cash-on-cash return rather than appreciation-led exit math. Use the tool above to enter a few clear inputs and get a practical answer you can use right away.
This rental property calculator helps investors pressure-test a financed deal with vacancy, operating costs, mortgage payments, and upfront cash needs. It stays distinct from the broader real estate calculator by centering rental underwriting and ongoing cash flow instead of hold-period appreciation and sale proceeds.
Formula and method
The calculator reduces rent by vacancy, subtracts operating expenses to estimate NOI, subtracts mortgage payments to estimate cash flow after debt, then calculates cap rate, cash-on-cash return, DSCR, and gross rent multiplier.
Example
If an investor is comparing a financed rental deal, the calculator shows whether the rent can comfortably cover operations and debt service while also producing an acceptable cash-on-cash return.
FAQ

Question
The real estate calculator is broader and leans on appreciation, hold period, and exit proceeds. This page is tighter: it focuses on financed rental underwriting and monthly cash flow.
Question
Cash-on-cash return compares annual cash flow after debt to the actual cash you had to invest up front, such as down payment, closing costs, and renovation budget.
Question
Yes. DSCR is a common lender metric that compares NOI to annual debt service and helps show whether the property can support its mortgage burden.
