Cash-on-Cash Return Calculator

Resources / Calculators Tools

Compare annual pre-tax cash flow with cash invested.

Use your own documented inputs

Compare annual pre-tax cash flow with cash invested. The interactive tool below uses the numbers you enter. Sample values are illustrative, not current rates or verified building costs.

What belongs in the calculation

Include vacancy and operating expenses before debt service; enter annual expenses separately from monthly rent. Net operating income excludes mortgage payments, depreciation and income taxes. Financing affects cash flow and cash-on-cash return. Confirm rental permission and legal use before relying on any rent.

How to read the result

The output is a scenario based on the inputs, not a prediction or qualification decision. A zero or omitted cost means the scenario is incomplete unless you have confirmed that it does not apply. Test less favorable assumptions before relying on a result.

Next step

Research the building and review your cash plan.

Compare buyer’s agents or register interest in an agent introduction. NYC Buyers Guide is an independent educational website, not a real estate brokerage. Agent introductions are not yet available; an introduction or response timeframe is not guaranteed.
