> The EBIT calculator works out earnings before interest and taxes (operating profit) – from revenue and expenses, or from net income by adding back interest and taxes – and the EBIT margin.

## Inputs

- Revenue
- Cost of goods sold
- Operating expenses (incl. depreciation)
- Net income
- Interest expense

## Results

## Formula

```
EBIT = revenue − COGS − operating expenses (incl. depreciation)
or EBIT = net income + interest + taxes
EBIT margin = EBIT ÷ revenue
```

### How it works

Choose the method and enter the figures.

### Tips

- Use consistent periods (a year or a quarter) for flow figures and period-end values for balances.
- Average opening and closing balances when a ratio mixes a flow with a stock.
- Benchmark against competitors in the same industry.
- Read the ratio together with others – profitability, liquidity and efficiency tell different stories.

### Common mistakes to avoid

- Using sales instead of cost of goods sold for inventory ratios.
- Mixing gross, operating and net profit.
- Ignoring one-off items that distort a single year.
