Times Interest Earned (TIE) Ratio Formula

TIE Ratio=Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT)Total Interest Obligations\text{TIE Ratio} = \frac{\text{Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT)}}{\text{Total Interest Obligations}}

The TIE ratio divides EBIT by total periodic interest obligations, representing the multiple of interest covered by core operations.
