EBITDA Calculator: Gross Profit, Operating Profit and Net Margin
Starting from gross sales, calculates net sales, gross profit, operating profit (EBIT), EBITDA, profit before tax and net profit, with the margin at each level, in income statement order.
Things to keep in mind:
- EBITDA is not cash flow; growth in working capital, capital expenditure and tax payments reduce cash separately.
- One-off items entered in the "other" line are excluded from EBITDA; adjusted EBITDA definitions vary by company.
- Tax expense is entered as an amount; use the Corporate Tax tool to calculate corporate tax.
- This tool is for information only and does not replace official financial statements, tax returns or investment advice.

About this tool
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation; FAVÖK in Turkish) shows the profit a business generates from its core operations independently of its financing structure, taxes and depreciation policy. It is therefore widely used to compare companies with different debt levels, in credit assessment (net debt / EBITDA) and in valuation (EV / EBITDA).
The tool follows the income statement order of the Turkish uniform chart of accounts:
Formulas
- Net sales = Gross sales − Sales deductions (returns, discounts)
- Gross profit = Net sales − Cost of sales
- Operating profit (EBIT) = Gross profit − Operating expenses
- EBITDA = EBIT + Depreciation and amortisation
- Profit before tax = EBIT + Other operating income/expense (net) − Finance expense (net)
- Net profit = Profit before tax − Tax expense
- Margin at each level = the profit figure / Net sales × 100
Example: with gross sales of 10,500,000 TRY, sales deductions of 500,000 TRY, cost of sales of 6,500,000 TRY and operating expenses of 1,800,000 TRY, gross profit is 3,500,000 TRY (35%) and EBIT 1,700,000 TRY (17%). If costs and expenses include 400,000 TRY of depreciation, EBITDA is 2,100,000 TRY with a 21% EBITDA margin. With 100,000 TRY net other income, 300,000 TRY finance expense and 375,000 TRY tax, net profit falls to 1,125,000 TRY (11.25%).
Note: EBITDA is not a statutory line item and is not cash flow; changes in working capital, capital expenditure and tax payments affect cash separately — use the Free Cash Flow tool for those. Listed companies may define EBITDA differently (e.g. whether other operating income/expense is included).
How to use
- Enter gross sales and any sales deductions (returns, discounts).
- Enter cost of sales and operating expenses (marketing, general administration, R&D).
- Enter the depreciation and amortisation included in costs and expenses.
- Enter net other operating income/expense, net finance expense and tax expense if any (negative values for income or a tax credit).
- Press Calculate.
Notes
Amounts are rounded to the cent and margins to 2 decimals (HALF_UP). If net sales are zero, margins show 0 (not computable). Depreciation is only added back for EBITDA; it is not deducted again from costs or expenses because it is assumed to be included in them. Tax expense is the period tax charge from the income statement (including deferred tax); the tool does not compute tax itself.

Frequently asked questions
EBITDA = Operating profit (EBIT) + Depreciation and amortisation, where operating profit is net sales less cost of sales and operating expenses. In short: net sales − costs and operating expenses excluding depreciation.
EBIT is operating profit after depreciation; EBITDA adds depreciation and amortisation back. In capital-intensive industries the gap between them is large.
It varies a lot by industry: single digits in retail, above 30% in software and telecoms. Compare with companies in the same industry and with the business's earlier years.
How much marketing, selling and administrative expense is spent per 100 TRY of sales. A falling ratio over time points to economies of scale or cost control.
Yes. High depreciation, interest or tax can turn a positive EBITDA into a net loss. In that case check the DSCR in the Financial Health Analysis for debt service capacity.
