Formula and method

EBITDA of 150 on revenue of 1,000 gives an EBITDA margin of 15%. EBITDA of −50 gives −5%.

EBITDA margin = EBITDA ÷ revenue

Worked example

Enter these known values and leave the other values blank.

Revenue for the period: 1000 USD
EBITDA for the same period: 150 USD

EBITDA margin: 15 %

Assumptions and limitations

Revenue must be positive. Use EBITDA and revenue from the same period and accounting scope.
EBITDA can be negative or zero. It is not net income, cash flow or a complete profitability assessment.
The tool divides an entered EBITDA amount; it does not construct or reconcile adjusted EBITDA.

Common questions

Can EBITDA margin be negative?

Yes. A negative EBITDA divided by positive revenue produces a negative margin.

Can I calculate revenue from margin?

Enter EBITDA and a nonzero margin. Zero EBITDA and zero margin do not determine a unique revenue.
