Real Estate Portfolio Analyzer Calculator
Analyze your entire rental portfolio: total value, equity, NOI, cash flow, DSCR, cap rate, and projected appreciation across all properties.
About this calculator
This calculator treats an entire rental portfolio as a single averaged property, scaled up by the number of properties you own — every input is an "average" (average value, average rent, average loan balance, average rate) that gets multiplied by property count to build portfolio-wide totals for value, debt, equity, and loan-to-value. Income flows the same way a single-property analysis would: gross annual rent across the portfolio is reduced by an average vacancy percentage to get effective income, then an expense ratio percentage (applied to that effective income, not gross rent) produces total operating expenses, leaving portfolio NOI. Debt service is computed once as a per-property amortized mortgage payment from the average loan balance, rate, and term, then multiplied by property count for total annual debt service; NOI minus that debt service gives total annual cash flow, which the calculator also divides down to an average monthly figure per property.
From there it derives the metrics lenders and investors actually use to judge portfolio health: cap rate (NOI over total value), debt service coverage ratio (NOI over debt service, where above 1.25 is generally considered healthy), cash-on-equity return (cash flow over total equity), and a simple 5-year appreciation projection compounding the whole portfolio's value at a flat annual rate. The averaging approach is also the calculator's central limitation: if your properties vary widely in value, rent, or loan terms, blending them into single averages can mask which specific properties are dragging down DSCR or cap rate, so use this for a fast portfolio-level gut check rather than a substitute for analyzing each property individually when something looks off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this calculator ask for averages instead of entering each property individually?
It models your whole portfolio as one representative property scaled by property count — every input (value, rent, loan balance, rate) is treated as an average and multiplied by the number of properties to build portfolio-wide totals for value, debt, income, and cash flow. This gives a fast portfolio-level snapshot, but it means properties that differ significantly from the average get blended in rather than analyzed on their own.
Is the expense ratio applied to gross rent or to rent after vacancy?
It's applied to effective income — gross annual rent after the average vacancy percentage has already been subtracted — not to gross rent itself. So the expense ratio percentage represents operating costs as a share of what the portfolio actually collects, not what it theoretically could collect at full occupancy.
What counts as a 'healthy' debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) here?
DSCR is portfolio NOI divided by total annual debt service, and lenders commonly treat 1.25 or higher as healthy — meaning the portfolio generates 25% more net operating income than it needs to cover its mortgage payments. A DSCR below 1.0 means NOI doesn't even fully cover debt service across the portfolio.
Is the 5-year appreciation projection compounded annually?
Yes — it takes total portfolio value and compounds it by the annual appreciation percentage raised to the 5th power, so a 3% appreciation rate compounds year over year rather than being applied as a flat 15% one-time gain. This projection only affects the equity gain figure and doesn't feed back into cash flow, NOI, or any of the other reported metrics.
