The formula
EBITDA = net income + interest + tax + depreciation + amortisation EBITDA = operating profit + depreciation + amortisation margin = EBITDA ÷ revenue
The two routes agree when only interest and tax sit between operating profit and net income. One-off gains or other income can make them differ.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate EBITDA from net income?
Add back interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. 50,000 + 5,000 + 10,000 + 15,000 + 5,000 = 85,000. On revenue of 400,000 that is a margin of 21.25%.
How do I calculate it from operating profit?
Add back depreciation and amortisation only, because interest and tax come below operating profit. 65,000 + 15,000 + 5,000 = 85,000.
Why can EBITDA be misleading?
It leaves out real costs. Equipment wears out and has to be replaced, debts carry interest and tax has to be paid. A business with a healthy EBITDA can still lose money and run out of cash, so read it alongside net profit and cash flow.
What is a good EBITDA margin?
It depends on the industry, since some need far more equipment than others. Compare with similar businesses, and check whether their figure is adjusted, because adjusted EBITDA can leave out further costs.
