Overview

The Ocrolus Bank Statement Income Calculator offers comprehensive analytics such as NSF transactions, large deposits, and statement balances; these analytics are derived from transaction details extracted from the borrower's bank statements. You can easily adjust input and automatically receive analytics output for the final qualifying income calculation. This product offering is designed to benefit retail lenders looking to offer non-QM bank statement loan products as well as current non-QM lenders looking to decrease turn times, reduce risk and increase volume.

The Bank Statement Income Calculator is offered as an Excel spreadsheet, suitable for use in any compatible program such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.

Inspecting the Excel Output

This section describes the information available within the aforementioned Income Calculator. The Income Calculator is formatted as an Excel spreadsheet separated into different sections. This allows you to inspect each transaction detail, along with the inputs/outputs for the income.

Some rows or fields are color-coded. Their meanings are as follows:

Yellow highlights indicate fields that require manual entry from the end user.
Teal highlights indicate qualified income details impacting the DTI ratio.
Red highlights indicate transactions that exceed the large deposit threshold amount.
Purple highlights indicate transactions that are excluded from the qualifying income amount.

Borrower Transaction Details

Borrower transaction details include any loan-level or borrower-level details to be aware of. This will require some manual input from the end user, as some of these details cannot be captured from the bank statements Ocrolus has processed (e.g. Loan Number).

1574 — The `Borrower/Loan Information` table on a sample Income Calculator spreadsheet for a business named "Jill's Coffee". The account holder and number were captured from the provided bank statements. The `Borrower Name`, `Loan Number`, and `Account Type` fields are empty and require manual input.

Deposits

This table of the Income Calculator includes all of the transaction-level details Ocrolus has extracted from the collected bank statements. These transaction amounts will directly impact the borrower’s computed qualifying income amount.

820 — The `Deposits` table on the Income Calculator. Some transactions are excluded from the overall qualifying income amount; these transactions are highlighted in purple, and the `Include/Exclude` field is set to `Exclude`.

To include or exclude a specific transaction from the qualifying income amount, select the drop-down field and change the value accordingly.

566 — A particular transaction is shown. The `Include/Exclude` field is selected, and a drop-down menu offering both options is visible.

How does Ocrolus identify deposits?

We consider any transaction with a credit amount greater than $0 a deposit.

How does Ocrolus decide which transactions are included or excluded in the income amount?

Once we capture a transaction's details, we categorize it according to a library of rules based on client feedback and use cases. These rules mainly involve the transaction's description.

Large Deposits

1004 — The `Large Deposit Flag` table on the Income Calculator. The `Percentage Amount` is configured to the default of 50%.

This table is used to configure the rules by which a transaction is considered "large." Large transactions are marked with a Y in their Large Deposit column. Any transaction that exceeds this amount is considered large.

The default threshold is 50%; any deposit greater than the computed average by at least this ratio is considered large. You can change this amount by modifying the percentage amount in the yellow input field.

NSF Transactions

This table lists all NSF (non-sufficient funds) transactions identified in the provided bank statements. We isolate these transactions to show how often the borrower overdraws on their account. You may include or exclude these transactions as you see fit.

Statement Overview

This table contains an overview of the statement periods included in the provided bank statements. We support up to 36 months' worth of bank statements within this income worksheet. You can also see details of the statement balances, total amounts for deposits, and the number of NSF transactions.

1452 — The `Statement Overview` table, listing statement periods ranging from August 2020 to January 2021.

Borrower/Loan Information

The fields in this table represent borrower-specific details used to determine the outputs within the Qualifying Income sections. The Guideline Expense Factor and Borrower(s) % Ownership of Business must be manually entered by the end user.

1276 — The `Borrower/Loan Information` section of the Income Calculator. The two fields that require user input are empty.
