debt service coverage ratio


Definition

DSCR. A measurement of a property's ability to generate enough revenue to cover the cost of its mortgage payments. It is calculated by dividing the net operating income by the total debt service. For example, a property with a net operating income of $50,000 and a total debt service of $40,000 would have a debt service ratio of 1.25, meaning that it generates 25% more revenue than required to cover its debt payment.
