Taxable Income Formula
Taxable Income = Gross Rental Income - Total Expenses - Depreciation Allowance - Other Deductions
Where:
- Gross Rental Income is the total amount received from tenants.
- Total Expenses include mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs, and maintenance.
- Depreciation Allowance is the annual depreciation of the property.
- Other Deductions include any additional allowable deductions.
The calculator also provides additional financial metrics such as net operating income and cash flow.
Worked Example
Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you have a rental property with the following details:
| Description | Amount |
|---|---|
| Gross Rental Income | $120,000 |
| Mortgage Interest | $24,000 |
| Property Taxes | $12,000 |
| Insurance | $3,000 |
| Utilities | $6,000 |
| Repairs and Maintenance | $4,000 |
| Depreciation Allowance | $10,000 |
| Other Deductions | $2,000 |
Using the formula:
Calculation
Total Expenses = $24,000 + $12,000 + $3,000 + $6,000 + $4,000 = $49,000
Taxable Income = $120,000 - $49,000 - $10,000 - $2,000 = $59,000
The calculator will show that your taxable income is $59,000. You can adjust the inputs to see how changes affect your tax liability.
