Cap Rate Calculator

0cap rate
0net operating income
0monthly NOI

Measure a rental property against others using the capitalization rate, the core yield metric real estate investors use to compare deals. Enter the annual net operating income, which is rental income minus operating expenses but before mortgage payments, and the purchase price or current value, and the calculator divides one by the other to give the cap rate as a percent. If you prefer, enter income and expenses separately and let the tool build the net operating income for you. Cap rate strips out financing so two properties can be compared on the asset alone, with higher rates generally signaling more income relative to price but often more risk or work. It ignores appreciation and loan leverage, so pair it with a full analysis. Everything is calculated instantly in your browser and your deal numbers never leave your device.
