Waterfalls and investor returns

How cash splits between LPs and the GP, and what the equity earns.

  • Real estate waterfall calculator

    Return of capital, compounding pref, GP catch-up and two promote tiers — LP and GP splits instantly.

  • Waterfall model in Excel (free download)

    A three-tier IRR-hurdle waterfall with live formulas — pref, two promote tiers, LP and GP IRR by year. No sign-up.

  • Preferred return calculator

    Simple vs compounding, cumulative vs non-cumulative, with yearly distributions — pref accrued, paid and still owed.

  • IRR and equity multiple calculator

    Enter equity, yearly cash flows and sale proceeds — get IRR, equity multiple, cash-on-cash by year and average annual return.

  • Cash-on-cash return calculator

    Annual pre-tax cash flow over total cash invested — the yield on your equity, with monthly cash flow.

Property income and debt

What the building earns, what it is worth and how much loan it carries.

  • NOI calculator

    From gross potential rent, vacancy, other income and operating expenses: effective gross income, NOI and the expense ratio.

  • Cap rate calculator

    Enter any two of NOI, value and cap rate to get the third, with the value at nearby cap rates.

  • DSCR and loan sizing calculator

    From NOI, loan amount, rate and amortization: debt service, DSCR, debt yield and the maximum loan at your minimum DSCR.

  • Break-even occupancy calculator

    Operating expenses plus debt service over gross potential income — and the cushion against today’s occupancy.

  • Gross rent multiplier (GRM) calculator

    Price over gross annual rent, or the price a GRM implies — a quick screen before you underwrite NOI.

The calculators use simplified annual periods. CREAssets runs real waterfalls on dated cash flows under your operating agreement's terms — see waterfalls and distributions or read how real estate waterfalls work.
