- Review cost increases not yet reflected in prices.
- Budget fixed costs alongside conservative revenue.
All ratios at a glance

Findings and points to check
- Add the previous financial year for indirect operating and free cash flow. Other ratios use closing balances without a trend.

How this tool works
EBITDA measures operating performance before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation. The abbreviation stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation. This calculator starts with revenue and subtracts cost of sales, staff costs and other operating expenses. The remaining amount is EBITDA. Subtract entered depreciation and amortisation to obtain EBIT. Interest and tax then lead to calculated net profit, unless you enter profit separately from your accounts.
EBITDA can help compare operational performance before certain financing choices and accounting depreciation affect it. Its limitation is that important costs and cash needs can disappear from view. A transport company must replace vehicles, and a manufacturer must maintain or renew machinery. Those activities require cash even when depreciation is added back for EBITDA. Review the metric alongside EBIT, net income, capital expenditure and cash flow.
EBITDA margin divides EBITDA by revenue and multiplies by one hundred percent. It shows how much of each euro of sales remains before those excluded items. The absolute amount can increase while the margin falls if sales grow faster. Compare similar activities using consistent expense classifications. A software company's margin is not directly comparable with that of a trading business. This calculator therefore provides neither a universal healthy margin nor a business valuation multiple.
Some parties refer to adjusted or normalised EBITDA, which removes specified unusual income or expenses. This tool does not make such adjustments silently. If you change a balance, document the adjustment separately and explain why it is appropriate. Adding the previous year reveals the direction of performance, while the cash-flow inputs show why profit and cash may diverge. The free PDF includes formulas and results. An optional report also preserves all entered figures and sources for discussions with a lender, buyer or adviser. Use the unadjusted figures as a clear starting point, and keep a transparent reconciliation whenever a separate agreement requires a different definition.
EBITDA formula, EBITDA margin and EBIT versus EBITDA
EBITDA = EBIT + depreciation and amortisation; EBITDA margin = EBITDA / revenue × 100%

Common questions
What is the difference between EBIT and EBITDA?
EBIT includes depreciation and amortisation; EBITDA adds them back. Both are before interest and taxes. The calculator also shows profit after those items.
How do I calculate EBITDA margin?
Divide EBITDA by revenue and multiply by 100%. With €45,000 EBITDA and €240,000 revenue, the margin is 18.75%. Zero revenue makes the margin unavailable.
Is EBITDA the same as cash flow?
No. Interest, taxes, investment and changes in receivables, inventory and liabilities can change cash. The cash-flow calculation therefore needs additional information.
What is a good EBITDA margin?
It depends strongly on industry, capital requirements and business model. This calculator has no industry benchmark. Compare consistent figures and your lender’s definitions.
