Calculate monthly payment and cash flow coverage

Lenders do not just check whether you want the loan, but whether your cash flow can support it. Calculate both before submitting an application.

Ample coverage

Lenders typically require a minimum of 1.2 to 1.3. Below that threshold, there is no buffer for setbacks and you will need to adjust the loan term, amount or equity contribution.

Indicative calculation based on an amortising loan. Arrangement fees, management charges, valuation and advisory fees are excluded. No rights can be derived from these results.

How to interpret the result

The monthly repayment determines whether the finance is affordable; the DSCR determines whether a lender will grant it. If your coverage is too low, you have three levers: a longer term (lower monthly payment, higher total interest), a lower borrowing amount with more equity, or a different finance structure that better suits the purpose.
