Net Operating Income (NOI) Calculator (Pro)

Calculate a property’s core income performance before financing and taxes.

Tool Overview

The Net Operating Income (NOI) Calculator helps you determine a property’s true operating performance by measuring income after vacancy and operating expenses, but before debt service, taxes, and capital expenditures.

NOI is one of the most widely used metrics in real estate analysis. It forms the foundation for valuation, cap rate analysis, break-even assessment, and long-term performance modeling.

This tool is designed to provide a clean, standardized NOI calculation that can be used consistently across other Pro tools and investment analyses.

Analysis Depth

This tool provides operating performance analysis, not return forecasting.

It isolates income and expense performance without incorporating financing, tax strategy, appreciation assumptions, or exit modeling. By separating operational performance from capital structure, the NOI Calculator allows you to evaluate a property’s income-producing ability on a comparable basis.

The output from this tool is intended to be reused in downstream analysis such as cap rate calculations, deal comparison, and risk assessment.

Calculated Results & Performance Breakdown

After calculation, the tool reports the property’s net operating income and supporting metrics, including:

  • Effective Gross Income (EGI)
    Gross income adjusted for vacancy and other income sources.

  • Net Operating Income (NOI)
    Income remaining after operating expenses, representing the property’s core operating performance.

  • Expense Ratio
    Operating expenses expressed as a percentage of effective gross income, providing insight into cost efficiency.

These results offer a standardized view of income performance that can be applied consistently across properties and markets.

When to Use This Tool

  • Evaluating a property’s income performance independent of financing

  • Comparing operating efficiency across multiple properties

  • Preparing inputs for cap rate or valuation analysis

  • Assessing expense structure realism

  • Establishing a baseline for further underwriting

Professional Use Cases

  • Investors analyzing acquisition opportunities

  • Lenders reviewing operating assumptions

  • Asset managers monitoring expense control

  • Partners aligning on income performance assumptions

  • Underestimating operating expenses

  • Using inconsistent NOI definitions across analyses

Suggested Analysis Workflow

  1. Estimate realistic gross income and vacancy assumptions

  2. Input operating expenses to calculate NOI

  3. Review expense ratio for efficiency and realism

  4. Apply NOI to cap rate, break-even, or deal comparison tools

  5. Incorporate financing and exit assumptions in later analysis
