How to use this calculator
Each step names a control you will find on screen above.
- Share price and Shares outstanding
Price per share in rupees and the share count in crore; the tool multiplies them into market cap in ₹ crore.
- Total debt and Cash & investments
All borrowings, short and long term, and the cash plus liquid investments the company holds, both from the latest balance sheet.
- EBITDA
Operating profit before depreciation and amortisation, for the latest full year, in ₹ crore.
- Net profit
Profit after tax for the same year, so the tool can show P/E alongside EV/EBITDA and you can see how debt separates the two.
Worked example: ₹800 share, ₹4,000 crore of net debt
A company with 50 crore shares at ₹800 has ₹6,000 crore of debt and ₹2,000 crore of cash. It earned ₹5,500 crore of EBITDA and ₹2,500 crore of net profit.

Where this is taught
A calculator gives you a number. These explain what the number means and when it misleads you.
- Fundamental Analysis13 minA cement company is read per tonne, and region by regionCement is heavy, cheap by the kilo and expensive to move, so it is sold in regional markets that can be in opposite cycles. How to read a cement company in rupees per tonne — realisation, fuel, freight and EBITDA — why capacity added in lumps starts price wars, why the monsoon quarter is always weak, and how the industry values capacity by the tonne.
- Fundamental Analysis11 minMarket capitalisation and enterprise value: two ways to say what a company costsThe price of the equity is not the price of the business. Debt and cash sit between the two, and every multiple you use depends on which one you picked.
- Fundamental Analysis12 minValuation ratiosP/E, P/B, EV/EBITDA, P/S and PEG — what each compares, when each is the right tool, and when each one lies.
- Market Basics8 minBlue-chip stocks: the boring ones that build wealthThe opposite end of the shelf from the penny stock. What actually makes a company blue-chip, what these stocks give you and what they do not, and why boring is a feature.
- Fundamental Analysis13 minChecking a claim against somebody else’s numbersCompanies report what they dispatched. Regulators and government portals count what was registered, consumed or shipped. Where the two diverge, there is a question.
