EBIT
750,000.00 monetary units
Interest expense
150,000.00 monetary units

States how many times the entered EBIT equals the entered same-period interest expense.

Earnings before interest and taxes for the same period and statement basis as interest expense.

Use the same monetary unit, period, and financial-statement definitions as EBIT.

Same-period interest ratio

Enter EBIT and interest expense for the same period, monetary unit, and financial-statement basis. This calculator’s frozen scenario accepts nonnegative EBIT and interest expense. That input scope is not a claim that accounting EBIT cannot be negative.

Source-backed definition

The times interest earned (TIE) ratio is an interest-paying-ability solvency ratio:

times interest earned ratio=EBITinterest expense\text{times interest earned ratio} =\frac{\text{EBIT}}{\text{interest expense}}

The result states how many times the entered EBIT equals the entered same-period interest expense. Comparisons require consistent statement definitions and relevant industry context.

Publisher arithmetic and example

Division, the explicit zero-denominator branch, and two-decimal display rounding are transparent publisher arithmetic. No separate “coverage cushion” is calculated.

The defaults are illustrative, not a lender benchmark. With EBIT of 750,000 and interest expense of 150,000:

750,000/150,000=5.00750{,}000/150{,}000=5.00

The result is 5.00×. When EBIT and interest expense are both 150,000, the result is 1.00× without a qualitative classification. When interest expense is zero, division is undefined and the calculator displays No interest expense.

Limits

EBIT is not cash flow, and TIE excludes principal repayment. Statement presentation and industry context affect comparisons. No universal adequacy threshold, credit classification, sector or lender benchmark, investment conclusion, or accounting recommendation is provided.
