What Is Rent Coverage Ratio?

Rent coverage ratio compares a property's net operating income to the ground rent or lease payments owed on it — commonly used in ground-lease and leasehold financing to show how comfortably the income covers the rent obligation.

Formula

Rent Coverage Ratio = NOI ÷ Ground Rent (or Lease Payment)
