What this shows
One relationship, made visible.
The tool estimates principal and interest for the proposed loan, adds existing annual business debt service, and divides the NOI you entered by that total.

What this shows
The tool estimates principal and interest for the proposed loan, adds existing annual business debt service, and divides the NOI you entered by that total.
What it does not decide
Lenders may adjust cash flow and debt differently. They also examine credit, collateral, equity, global cash flow, policy, and the complete transaction.
Your threshold
Enter a number supplied by your lender when possible. A loaded example is labeled as such and is not presented as an SBA rule.
The proposed payment uses the standard fixed-payment amortization formula with monthly payments. A zero-rate scenario divides principal evenly across the number of months. The result then annualizes twelve monthly payments.
Calculations use unrounded values. Currency is displayed to the nearest dollar and DSCR to two decimal places, so a displayed boundary may conceal a small underlying difference.
SBA states that most 7(a) term loans use monthly principal-and-interest payments and that repayment terms vary. This tool does not embed an SBA approval threshold. Source last reviewed August 25, 2026: SBA 7(a) loans.
Professional boundary
Estimates are for educational preparation. This application is not a lender, broker, packager, CDC, CPA, attorney, eligibility tool, underwriting system, quote, commitment, or lending decision. Confirm the inputs and method that apply to your transaction with the appropriate professionals.
