Net Interest Income

A financial measure for banks, calculated by the amount of money the bank receives from interest on assets (commercial loans, personal mortgages, etc) minus the amount of money the bank pays out for interest on liabilities (personal bank accounts, etc). Although usually calculated for banks, this figure can also be calculated for other corporations, simply by subtracting the amount of interest paid on liabilities from the amount of interest earned from assets.

Usually refers to rental property, for which the time period over which this multiple is considered is generally a month. It is a useful measure for judging how effective an asset is at generating income, compared to its market price.

Impairment Charge
