How DSCR is calculated
DSCR = adjusted EBITDA ÷ (remaining existing annual debt service + the new loan's estimated annual debt service). A DSCR of 1.25 means your cash flow covers your total debt payments with 25% to spare. Most bank and SBA lenders look for at least 1.15–1.25x; below 1.00x means your cash flow doesn't fully cover your debt payments as estimated here.
The calculation itself runs entirely in your browser -- the specific figures you enter are never transmitted to BizyFi, except that the "Get your full pre-qualification estimate" button below carries the amount and product you entered into the application form's URL so you don't have to type them twice. To save re-entering the same numbers across calculators, revenue/EBITDA/debt figures are also saved in your own browser's local storage and reused on BizyFi's other calculators -- this never leaves your browser and you can clear it anytime with the "Clear saved numbers" link that appears when a field has been pre-filled. Separately, we log anonymous usage analytics (that this page was viewed, or that a button was clicked) to see which calculators are useful -- never the numbers you type.
