Florida Rental House Loan Calculator DSCR, Payment & Rent Coverage
Estimate payment, PITIA and rent coverage from your inputs. This tool does not quote rates, determine approval or replace a property-specific lender review.

DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) compares a rental property's entered income with its entered debt-related housing expense. Some proprietary rental-loan programs use this ratio in their analysis, but eligibility also depends on the complete file and current written program guide.
DSCR = Monthly Rental Income ÷ PITIA
For interest-only loans: DSCR = Rent ÷ ITIAPITIA = Principal + Interest + Taxes + Insurance + Association DuesITIA = Interest + Taxes + Insurance + Association Dues (no principal)
How to read the resultA DSCR above 1.00 means the entered rent is greater than the entered PITIA. A result below 1.00 means it is lower. This is arithmetic—not an approval threshold, pricing tier or promise of available leverage.Program treatment of rent, expenses, vacancies, interest-only payments and property types varies. Verify the current written program guide and property analysis.
This calculator is a sensitivity tool. Its example rate, LTV and expense assumptions are not current offers or underwriting decisions.
FAQ
Common Questions
What DSCR ratio do I need to qualify in Florida?
There is no universal DSCR threshold. A ratio above 1.00 means the entered rent exceeds the entered PITIA, but program eligibility, pricing and leverage depend on the current lender guide and complete file.
How is DSCR calculated for a rental property?
DSCR = Monthly Rental Income ÷ Monthly PITIA. PITIA includes Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance, and HOA. For interest-only loans, the formula uses ITIA instead (replacing principal with just the interest payment).
Can I use a DSCR loan for Airbnb or short-term rentals?
Some proprietary DSCR programs may permit eligible short-term rentals. Acceptable income evidence and calculation methods vary, so verify the property and program before relying on projected rent.
What is the maximum LTV for a DSCR loan?
There is no universal maximum LTV. Transaction type, credit, property, reserves, DSCR and the current program guide can change permitted leverage. Calculator LTV outputs are illustrations only.
Do I need W-2s or tax returns for a DSCR loan?
Some proprietary DSCR programs emphasize property cash flow rather than traditional personal-income calculations. They still require borrower, credit, asset, entity, property and transaction documentation under the selected program.
What is the difference between PITIA and ITIA?
PITIA includes principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and association dues — used for fully amortizing loans. ITIA replaces the principal component with just the interest-only payment — used during an interest-only period, which typically lowers PITIA and improves DSCR.
Estimate only. Final eligibility depends on appraisal rent, credit, reserves, property type, occupancy, and lender guidelines. DSCR ratios and cash flow projections shown are estimates based on the inputs you provide and do not represent a commitment to lend. Actual terms may vary.
