What is the EBITDA Calculator?
Add depreciation and amortization back to EBIT to get EBITDA. To use the EBITDA Calculator, enter net income, interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, revenue; it returns ebitda, ebitda margin, ebit, and shows them instantly as you type.
From revenue to cash flow
Work down the income statement: gross margin, operating margin, EBITDA and net margin. Then confirm profit is real cash with the free cash flow calculator and the accrual ratio.
Efficiency ratios show how fast money turns. The Cash Conversion Cycle Calculator combines DSO, DIO and DPO into one number of days.
- Costs. Marginal cost, average variable cost and the optimal price tools support pricing decisions.
- Elasticity. Price, cross-price and income elasticity show how demand reacts.
How to use the EBITDA Calculator
- Enter your numbers. Start with Net income ($), Interest ($), Taxes ($), then fill in Depreciation ($), Amortization ($), Revenue ($). Use numbers from the same accounting period so the ratios are comparable. Fields marked optional can stay at zero.
- Read the result. The highlighted box gives the EBITDA, and the cards below show EBITDA margin, EBIT. Tables and charts break it down further.
- Test other scenarios. Results update as you type. Change one value at a time to see what drives the answer, and press Reset to go back to the defaults.
Formula and how it works
Example with real numbers
Here is the EBITDA Calculator using the default values shown in the calculator above:
Inputs
| Net income ($) | 400,000 |
|---|---|
| Interest ($) | 60,000 |
| Taxes ($) | 130,000 |
| Depreciation ($) | 90,000 |
| Amortization ($) | 20,000 |
| Revenue ($) | 3,000,000 |
Results
| EBITDA | $700,000.00 |
|---|---|
| EBITDA margin | 23.33% |
| EBIT | $590,000.00 |
With these inputs the calculator returns EBITDA: $700,000.00. Change any value in the calculator to see how the result moves.
What if you change one input?
Sensitivity check: raising Net income ($) from 400,000 to 480,000 (about 20% higher) and leaving everything else as in the example above changes the results like this:
| Result | Example | After the change | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| EBITDA | $700,000.00 | $780,000.00 | +11.4% |
| EBITDA margin | 23.33% | 26% | +11.4% |
| EBIT | $590,000.00 | $670,000.00 | +13.6% |
The input that moves the result most is the one to check twice. Change it in the calculator above to test your own case.
What the results tell you
The results panel of the EBITDA Calculator reports EBITDA, ebitda margin and ebit. Compare these figures while changing one input at a time, and use the related calculators below to look at the same situation from another angle.

Frequently asked questions
Why do analysts use EBITDA?
It approximates operating cash earnings before financing, tax and non-cash charges.
Which accounting standard do the formulas follow?
They use the common textbook definitions that apply under both US GAAP and IFRS unless a tool says otherwise.
Why use average balances?
Ratios that compare a flow (sales, income) with a balance (assets, equity) are fairer when the balance is averaged over the period.
Are the results guaranteed?
No. Results depend entirely on the numbers you enter and the formulas shown on this page. Please do not make financial decisions based on them alone; confirm important figures with a licensed professional.
