Step-by-Step Mathematical Derivation
1
Total Debt Service Obligations
Total Debt Service = Principal Payments + Interest Expense.
2
DSCR Underwriting Formulation

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum DSCR required by commercial banks?
Most commercial banks and SBA lenders require a minimum DSCR of 1.20× to 1.25×. A 1.25× DSCR means the company generates $1.25 in operating cash flow for every $1.00 of required debt payment.
What happens if a loan breaches a DSCR covenant?
Breaching a loan agreement's DSCR covenant is a technical default. Lenders may increase interest rates, freeze revolving credit lines, require additional collateral, or accelerate debt repayment.
