What is EBITDA (in plain English)?

It’s a profit number before financing and tax, and before non-cash charges:

  • Start with your Operating profit (EBIT)
  • + Depreciation and + Amortisation

The guidance uses GVA = EBITDA + staff costs for the 20% test. Don’t worry if you don’t know EBITDA — use the “Help me estimate” option above and we’ll calculate it for you.

How the quick check works: We apply the government method with a fixed representative electricity price (BEP) of £190.51/MWh (2012 prices) and calculate electricity intensity as (BEP × MWh) ÷ GVA. Eligibility is met if the result is ≥ 20%. Formal applications deflate values to 2012 prices across periods and set meter-level proportions. This checker is an indicator only.
