NOI calculator
NOI is where the story either earns its oxygen or starts lying.
The first number is only the beginning.
The chart will name the assumption carrying the most weight once the model runs.
| Case | Result | What moved |

Which expenses are excluded?
Missing payroll
NOI is before debt service. Do not jam loan payments into operating math.
What this number is really saying
Everything downstream leans on NOI: cap rate, value, DSCR, sale price, and half the sponsor story.
The assumption to attack
Push vacancy up, insurance up, taxes up, payroll up. If NOI only works when reality behaves, it does not work.
What the math is ignoring
Debt service, capital improvements, investor taxes, and one-time items that should not be dressed up as recurring income.
Headline, stress, proof.
- Start with the headline result.It names the current modeled answer, not the decision.
- Compare the stress cases.The scenario strip shows which assumption makes the answer fragile.
- Use the ledger as a diligence list.Every input should map back to a document, invoice, statement, term sheet, or named assumption.
Documents before confidence.
T-12, general ledger, tax bill, insurance renewal, payroll schedule, management agreement, and every excluded add-back.
Stress before trust
- Missing payroll
- Understated insurance
- Cute add-backs
