How this calculator works
Using EBITDA (entered directly or estimated from a margin), the tool shows current leverage as debt divided by EBITDA, a generic illustrative reference band of two to four times EBITDA, an illustrative debt-capacity headroom range within that band, and the pro-forma leverage that would result if a desired amount of new capital were added as debt.
What it does not do
Leverage bands are generic educational references, not a determination of what any lender will provide. Real debt capacity depends on cash-flow quality, covenants, sector, collateral, and underwriting.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 2×–4× band what a lender will offer?
No. Reference bands vary widely by industry, cash-flow quality, covenants, and collateral. The band here is a generic educational reference, not a capacity assessment or an offer.
What is leverage?
A common shorthand for how much debt a company carries relative to its earnings, often expressed as debt divided by EBITDA.
