What Are the Core Financial Formulas Used in Real Estate Investment Analysis?

Net Operating Income (NOI)

NOI = Gross Rental Income - Operating Expenses
Operating expenses include property taxes, insurance, maintenance, property management fees, HOA fees, and other costs but exclude mortgage payments and depreciation.

Capitalization Rate (Cap Rate)

Cap Rate = (NOI ÷ Purchase Price) × 100%
Cap rates help compare properties and assess market valuations. Higher cap rates generally indicate higher returns but may also suggest higher risk.

Cash-on-Cash Return

Cash-on-Cash Return = (Annual Pre-Tax Cash Flow ÷ Initial Cash Investment) × 100%
This measures the annual return on the actual cash invested, providing insight into cash flow efficiency.

Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

The IRR is the discount rate that makes the net present value (NPV) of all cash flows equal to zero. Our calculator uses the Newton-Raphson iterative method for precise IRR calculations, accounting for:

  • Initial investment (negative cash flow)
  • Annual operating cash flows
  • Final sale proceeds (including remaining equity)
  • Time value of money
