EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) is a financial metric that measures a company’s operating performance by excluding certain non-operating expenses. It provides an indication of a company’s profitability before accounting for interest, taxes, and non-cash expenses.
This calculator is intended for illustration purposes only and exact payment terms should be agreed with a lender before taking out a loan.
To calculate EBITDA, follow these steps:
Determine the company’s net income: Obtain the net income figure from the company’s income statement. Net income is the total revenue minus all operating expenses, interest, and taxes.
Add back interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization: Identify the interest expense, taxes, depreciation, and amortization from the company’s financial statements. Add these values back to the net income obtained in step 1.
Calculate EBITDA: Sum up the net income, interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization figures to calculate the EBITDA.
The formula for calculating EBITDA is:
EBITDA = Net Income + Interest + Taxes + Depreciation + Amortization
EBITDA is commonly used as a measure of a company’s cash flow and profitability, as it provides insight into its operating performance without considering non-operating factors. However, it’s important to note that EBITDA has limitations and should be used alongside other financial metrics and analysis when evaluating a company’s financial health.
