EVA Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the economic value-added.

EVA = NOPAT - (WACC * CI )
  • Where EVA is the economic value added
  • NOPAT is the net operating profits after tax
  • WACC is the weighted average cost of capital
  • CI is the capital invested

To calculate the economic value added, multiply the WACC by the capital invested, then subtract the result from the net operating profits after tax.
