How this is calculated
- Overheads = staff + lab + supplies + rent + other.
- EBITDA = revenue − overheads.
- True profit = EBITDA − what you'd pay a dentist to do your clinical work.
- Separating owner's pay from profit shows what the business itself earns.
Frequently asked questions
What is a healthy overhead percentage for a dental practice?
Roughly 55–65% is common for general practice. Above 70% usually means staffing, lab or rent needs attention.
Why subtract my own pay?
Because a buyer or bank will. Profit that only exists because you work for free isn't business profit.
