The degree of operating leverage (DOL) measures in quantitative terms the extent of
operating leverage. When proportionate change in EBIT as a result of a given change in sales is
more than the proportionate change in sales, operating leverage exists. The greater the DOL, the
higher is the operating leverage. Symbolically,
DOL = (Percentage change in EBIT) / (Percentage change in sales)
DOL should always be greater than 1.
Alternatively, DOL can also be expressed in terms of contribution and profit as
DOL = (Total Contribution) / (EBIT) [Provided at base level]
