How this commercial calculator works
Enter value, down payment, rate, amortization, and annual NOI — or upload a T12 / rent roll and let AI fill the fields. Results are a screen, not a term sheet.
-
Set the loan
Property value and down payment set loan amount and LTV.
-
Set the debt
Rate and amortization produce Canadian semi-annual P&I.
-
Test DSCR
Annual NOI divided by annual P&I. Most A-lenders want 1.20x+.
Conventional commercial versus CMHC MLI
This tool models a conventional commercial first mortgage on property cash flow. Five-plus unit rentals may also have an insured CMHC path with different LTV, amortization, and min DCR.
-
Conventional commercial
Banks, credit unions, and alternative lenders. Qualification is NOI versus debt service, plus sponsor net worth and experience.
-
CMHC MLI (5+ residential units)
Insured multifamily. MLI Select min DCR is 1.10. MLI Standard is 1.30 on a 5-year term and 1.20 on a 10-year term. Size those files on the MLI calculators.
Loan, payment, LTV, and DSCR
NOI must be net of vacancy and operating expenses. If you only have gross rent, upload a T12 so taxes and insurance are not guessed.
-
Loan amount
Value × (1 − down payment %). · Value − down payment
-
Monthly P&I
Canadian mortgages compound semi-annually, not monthly like a US loan. · Semi-annual compounding P&I
-
LTV
Loan divided by value. Lenders may use the lesser of price and appraisal. · Loan / value
-
DSCR
NOI / annual P&I. Below 1.20x usually needs more equity, a longer amort, or a CMHC path. · NOI / annual debt service
Worked example (illustrative)
$2,000,000 value, 25% down, 5.50% / 25 years, $180,000 NOI. Teaching case only.
| Loan / LTV | $1,500,000 · 75% |
|---|---|
| What to test | Does $180,000 NOI clear 1.20x on that P&I? |
| If DSCR fails | More down, lower price, or size on the MLI calculator if 5+ units |
