Times Interest Earned

Income Before Interest & Taxes ÷ Interest Expense = Times Interest Earned

What It Means

How many times over can you cover interest payments?

Higher = easier to cover interest payments

Example

EBIT:$100,000
Interest Expense:$20,000

$100,000 ÷ $20,000

Times Interest Earned = 5
