Cap Rate

inflation calculator
Written by Richard Wilson

Also referred to as capitalization rate, this refers to the value of a property when the (NOI) or net operating income is divided by the current market valuation or sale price. A lower cap rate means that the income is more expensive than the property. This can be utilized as an indicator of how fast an investment can pay for itself.
