About AFFO

AFFO adjusts FFO for recurring capital expenditures and other maintenance items to better reflect cash available for dividends in REITs.

Use AFFO per share to compare dividend sustainability across REITs.

How to Use

  1. Enter reported FFO and common recurring adjustments.
  2. Provide shares outstanding for per-share metrics if desired.
  3. Interpret AFFO as a proxy for distributable cash supporting dividends.
  4. Compare AFFO per share across REITs to gauge payout coverage.

Example

FFO $5,000,000; recurring CapEx $500,000; straight-line rent $100,000; leasing commissions $75,000; tenant improvements $150,000 → AFFO = $4,175,000.
