  • Use the units shown beside each field.
  • Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
  • Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
  • Operating expense must include all applicable explicit expenses such as depreciation without double-counting interest or tax. Use the same currency and reporting period for all monetary inputs. No live data or jurisdiction-specific accounting adjustments are inferred.

Example Calculation

Example inputs
  • Revenue: 1000
  • Operating expense: 600
  • Interest expense: 50
  • Tax expense: 100

Revenue = 1000; Operating expense = 600; Interest expense = 50; Tax expense = 100. The primary result is 250.
