How deposits can tell your income story

When write-offs make tax returns understate your real cash flow, bank-statement programs estimate income from deposits and an expense factor. This shows an illustrative range — not an approval or a final qualifying income.

What the expense factor does

Programs assume some share of your deposits went to business expenses and count the rest as income. That assumed share — the expense factor — depends heavily on your industry and the program, and a CPA letter can sometimes justify a lower one. Because it swings the result so much, this tool shows a range around the factor you pick, not a single false-precision number.

Is this an approval or my qualifying income?

No. It illustrates how deposit-based income works. The program-specific calculation is done by Mitig8, and a lender makes the final determination.
