Calculate your business's owner equity by subtracting total liabilities from total assets
Learn how to use the Owner Equity Calculator to assess your business's financial health
Owner Equity (also known as Shareholders' Equity for corporations) represents the net worth of your business. It's the amount that would remain if all your business's assets were liquidated and all its debts were paid off. A positive owner equity indicates that your business is worth more than its debts, while negative equity suggests the business owes more than it owns.
A positive Owner Equity indicates financial stability, while negative equity may suggest financial distress. Business owners should regularly monitor their equity to track financial health over time.
Owner Equity = Total Assets - Total Liabilities
If your business has total assets of $500,000 and total liabilities of $300,000, your owner equity would be $200,000 ($500,000 - $300,000).
