CALCULATION GUIDE

How to Calculate a Maximum Commercial Mortgage

Understand how DSCR, LTV and debt yield can each limit loan proceeds.

Calculation approach

A lender may calculate separate maximum loans from property value, annual debt-service capacity and NOI divided by a minimum debt yield. The lowest result becomes the binding constraint.

How to use the result

Changing amortization or interest rate changes the DSCR-constrained amount, while value affects LTV and NOI affects both DSCR and debt yield.
