Numbers to enter
This is a simplified EBITDA bridge from net profit after tax. Enter only expenses already deducted in the same period's bottom-line profit, otherwise the add-back is double counted.

EBITDA is an alternative performance measure. It is not cash flow, and it is not automatically identical to a financial-statement “operating profit” line.

Bottom-line profit/loss for the same period. A loss may be entered as a negative number.

Frequently asked questions

What is EBITDA?

EBITDA stands for Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization. It is a proxy for operating earnings that strips out financing, tax, and non-cash charges so businesses on different capital structures can be compared.

EBITDA

What is excluded and why?

Interest expense is excluded to remove the influence of how the business is financed. Taxes are excluded because the tax regime varies by jurisdiction. Depreciation and amortization are excluded because they are non-cash allocations of past spending, not current operating economics.

EBITDA

Is EBITDA the same as cash flow?

No. EBITDA ignores changes in working capital, capital expenditure, taxes actually paid, and debt service. A business can post healthy EBITDA and still run out of cash if inventory and receivables grow too fast.

EBITDA

Why do lenders watch it?

Some lenders use EBITDA or related debt-service measures as one input when assessing operating earnings and borrowing capacity. Credit decisions can also depend on cash flow, leverage, collateral, covenants, industry, history and the lender’s underwriting policy. This calculator does not predict approval or loan terms.
