Are payroll taxes included in EBITDA?

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is a financial measure that is used to evaluate a company’s financial performance. It is calculated by taking a company’s net income and adding back certain non-cash expenses, such as depreciation and amortization, as well as any interest and taxes that the company has paid.

Payroll taxes are not typically included in EBITDA because they are considered to be personal taxes that are paid on behalf of the employees and are not considered to be a non-cash expense.

EBITDA is generally used as a measure of a company’s profitability and financial performance, and is often used to compare companies within the same industry. It is an important financial measure for many investors and analysts, as it allows them to compare companies’ operating performance without taking into account differences in capital structure, tax rates, and depreciation and amortization policies.

Overall, while payroll taxes are not typically included in EBITDA, it is an important financial measure that is used to evaluate a company’s profitability and financial performance.
