Understanding the G&A Rate

The General and Administrative (G&A) rate is a financial metric that shows the percentage of revenue spent on administrative expenses. It helps businesses understand how much they're spending on overhead compared to revenue.

Example Calculation

If your company has a total revenue of $1,000,000 and administrative expenses of $100,000, the G&A rate would be calculated as follows:

G&A Rate = ($100,000 / $1,000,000) × 100% = 10%

This means that 10% of your revenue is spent on administrative expenses.

Interpreting the Results

A higher G&A rate may indicate inefficiency, while a lower rate may suggest that the company is not spending enough on administration. The ideal G&A rate varies by industry and company size, so it's important to compare your results to industry benchmarks.
