How it works
Cash is subtracted from gross debt on a matching scope, then divided by period EBITDA. This form solves for net debt ebitda multiple; enter the known quantities in Gross debt (same currency), Cash deducted (same currency), Period EBITDA (same currency).

Questions and answers
Can I use the example values for my own calculation?
The example values illustrate the calculation. Replace every input with your own information, especially dates, rates and the selected operation.
When can I use the net debt ebitda multiple result?
Use positive EBITDA. You define cash scope, consolidation and EBITDA period; the ratio does not decide creditworthiness or valuation. All monetary inputs must use the same currency; currency conversion, tax and automatic fees are excluded.
Why are some results rounded?
Results display up to 8 decimal places. Calculations use the unrounded values; very small values use scientific notation. JavaScript floating-point arithmetic can introduce tiny rounding differences.
Are my inputs sent to a server?
The calculator processes inputs in your browser. Its code does not send your values to a server.
