Accounting Profit Calculator
Work out accounting profit for a period: revenue minus explicit costs including operating expenses, interest, depreciation, and taxes. You get total explicit costs and accounting profit for a quick bookkeeping-style check.
Inputs
Use one currency. Enter the amounts that apply to the same period (same month, quarter, or year).
Results
Total explicit costs sum operating expenses, interest, depreciation, and taxes. Accounting profit is revenue minus that sum.
Example
Revenue is $100,000, operating expenses $25,000, interest $5,000, depreciation $10,000, and taxes $12,000. Total explicit costs are $52,000. Accounting profit is $100,000 − $52,000 = $48,000.
How it works
Total explicit costs = operating expenses + interest + depreciation + taxes. Accounting profit = total revenue − total explicit costs. A negative result is an accounting loss for the period. This is a simplified view; your accountant may use different line items.
