How to use it
- 01Enter revenue, cost of goods sold, and operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization.
- 02Add depreciation and amortization to compare EBITDA with EBIT.
- 03Review EBITDA margin to understand the result as a share of revenue rather than only as an absolute dollar amount.
Result guide
- Gross profit reflects revenue minus cost of goods sold before other operating costs.
- EBITDA focuses on operating performance before depreciation and amortization.
- EBITDA margin puts EBITDA in percentage terms so different periods or businesses are easier to compare.
About this calculator
EBITDA pages are useful for managers, founders, and analysts because they separate operating performance from non-cash charges and financing structure.
A practical page should show both EBITDA and EBIT so users can compare the pre-D&A view with the result after depreciation and amortization are added back out of the calculation.
Frequently asked questions
Why exclude depreciation and amortization from EBITDA?
Because EBITDA is specifically meant to show earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
Why show EBIT too?
Because EBIT helps compare the EBITDA view with a profit measure that includes depreciation and amortization charges.
Should operating expenses here include depreciation and amortization?
No. This version asks for operating expenses excluding those items so EBITDA can be derived cleanly and then EBIT can be calculated after adding them back into the cost base.
