What is the NOPAT Calculator?
Net operating profit after tax: operating profit with tax applied. To use the NOPAT Calculator, enter ebit, tax rate; it returns nopat, taxes on operating profit, and shows them instantly as you type.
Where the NOPAT Calculator fits
Net operating profit after tax: operating profit with tax applied. The main figure it returns is the NOPAT, worked out from the values you enter.
It belongs with the other investment tools. If you are comparing options or checking a result from another angle, try the CD Calculator, Return on Capital Employed Calculator (ROCE) or the ROI & Profit Margin Calculator.
How to use the NOPAT Calculator
- Enter your numbers. Start with EBIT ($), Tax rate (%). Use a rate of return you consider realistic; small changes compound into large differences. Fields marked optional can stay at zero.
- Read the result. The highlighted box gives the NOPAT, and the cards below show Taxes on operating profit. Tables and charts break it down further.
- Test other scenarios. Results update as you type. Change one value at a time to see what drives the answer, and press Reset to go back to the defaults.
Formula and how it works
Example with real numbers
Here is the NOPAT Calculator using the default values shown in the calculator above:
Inputs
| EBIT ($) | 500,000 |
|---|---|
| Tax rate (%) | 21 |
Results
| NOPAT | $395,000.00 |
|---|---|
| Taxes on operating profit | $105,000.00 |
With these inputs the calculator returns NOPAT: $395,000.00. Change any value in the calculator to see how the result moves.
What if you change one input?
Sensitivity check: raising EBIT ($) from 500,000 to 600,000 (about 20% higher) and leaving everything else as in the example above changes the results like this:
| Result | Example | After the change | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| NOPAT | $395,000.00 | $474,000.00 | +20% |
| Taxes on operating profit | $105,000.00 | $126,000.00 | +20% |
The input that moves the result most is the one to check twice. Change it in the calculator above to test your own case.
