| <math>\mbox{Times-Interest-Earned} = \frac {\mbox{EBIT or EBITDA}} {\mbox{Interest Charges}}</math>

| Interest Charges = Traditionally "charges" refers to interest expense found on the income statement.

| Times Interest Earned or Interest Coverage is a great tool when measuring a company's ability to meet its debt obligations. When the interest coverage ratio is smaller than 1, the company is not generating enough cash from its operations EBIT to meet its interest obligations. The Company would then have to either use cash on hand to make up the difference or borrow funds. Typically, it is a warning sign when interest coverage falls below 2.5x.

| Times interest earned definition and explanation:
| |
| | |
| The times interest earned ratio indicates the extent of which earnings are available to meet interest payments.
| |
| | |
| A lower times interest earned ratio means less earnings are available to meet interest payments and that the business is more vulnerable to increases in interest rates.
| |
| | |
