## What it means for a shop owner

It shows operating performance apart from how you are financed and how old your equipment is, so it helps compare two shops. It is not cash in your pocket, since interest and tax still have to be paid. Use it beside net profit, not instead of it.

## A worked example

Before interest, tax and depreciation your profit is 1000. Interest is 100, depreciation 150 and tax 50, so net profit is 700.
