EBT Calculator
This calculator works out your EBT (earnings before tax), the profit your business makes once every operating cost has been deducted from revenue, but before tax is taken off. It matters because EBT strips out the effect of tax rates, so it lets you compare underlying trading performance year on year, or against other businesses, without tax timing or jurisdiction skewing the picture. You enter your revenue and cost of goods sold, then a full run of operating expenses: rent or lease, supplies and stationery, utilities, vehicle costs, travel and accommodation, salaries and wages, depreciation, interest and amortisation. As you type, the calculator works out your gross profit, adds up your total operating expenses, and returns your net operating profit before taxes, which is your EBT. Add a taxation expense figure as well and it also shows net operating profit after taxes, so you can see the full journey from revenue down to what is left once tax is paid. It suits business owners, bookkeepers and accountants who want a quick, clear profitability breakdown without opening a spreadsheet. Enter every figure as GST exclusive, since the calculation does not account for GST. As with any profitability tool, the result is only as accurate as the expense figures you enter, so use your actual accounts where possible, and treat the output as an indicative estimate rather than formal financial advice.
