Cash-on-cash return is the ratio of annual before-tax [cash flow](https://www.realized1031.com/glossary/cash-flow) from an investment to the total amount of cash invested, represented as a percentage.

For example, if an investment property generated $100,000 of cash flow and an investor had invested $1,000,000 of equity, the cash-on-cash return would be 10.0% ($100,000 / $1,000,000).
