Financial Ratio Calculation Explained

Business owners can use this guide to calculate profitability, pricing, growth, and investment performance with simple formulas.

Bangladesh-focused guide with practical calculation workflow.

Step-by-Step Explanation

  • Identify revenue, cost, and target KPI inputs before calculation.
  • Use one consistent period (monthly/quarterly/yearly) across all variables.
  • Validate results against past performance to detect data-entry errors.

Formula

  • KPI % = (Target Metric / Base Metric) × 100
  • Net Value = Total Gain - Total Cost

Example Calculation

  • If gain is BDT 300,000 and cost is BDT 100,000, net value is BDT 200,000.
  • KPI percentage depends on chosen base metric (cost or revenue).

FAQ

  • Should I use gross or net values? Use net values for final profitability decisions.
  • How often should business KPIs be recalculated? At least monthly.
