How Cap Rate is Calculated

Cap Rate = Net Operating Income (NOI) / Property Value

The capitalization rate measures the annual return on an investment property based on its income, without considering financing. A higher cap rate indicates higher potential returns but may also signal higher risk. Cap rates vary by location, property type, and market conditions.
