What is NOI?

Net Operating Income (NOI) is the total income a property generates after operating expenses but before debt service or income taxes. It's the foundation of property valuation.

NOI = EGI − Operating Expenses

What's Included in NOI:

  • Income: Rent, parking, laundry, CAM reimbursements, late fees
  • Expenses: Property taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance, management, repairs

What's NOT Included:

  • Mortgage payments (principal & interest)
  • Capital expenditures (CapEx)
  • Depreciation
  • Income taxes

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Debt Service included in NOI?

NO. This is the #1 mistake. NOI is strictly income minus operating expenses. Mortgage payments come AFTER NOI to calculate Cash Flow.

Should I include Reserves in NOI?

Lenders typically calculate a "Net Cash Flow" which is NOI minus Reserves ($250/unit etc). But standard NOI usually excludes capital reserves.

Is Property Management an operating expense?

Yes. Even if you self-manage, you should deduct a market-rate management fee (3-5%) to calculate the true NOI and value.

How do I calculate "Effective Gross Income"?

Potential Gross Income (Market Rent) minus Vacancy and Credit Loss = Effective Gross Income (EGI).

Does NOI include capital expenditures (CapEx)?

Generally no. Recurring maintenance is an operating expense, but major replacements (new roof, HVAC) are "below the line" CapEx.
