This calculator helps determine if a company has a deficit equity by comparing total debt to shareholder equity. It is useful for financial analysis and understanding a company's financial health.
Learn how to use the Deficit Equity Calculator calculator and its working principles
Deficit equity occurs when a company's total debt exceeds its shareholder equity. This can indicate financial risk and may be a concern for investors and creditors. A deficit equity means the company's liabilities are greater than the value of the shareholders' investments.
If a company has a total debt of $1,000,000 and shareholder equity of $800,000, the deficit equity would be $200,000. This means the company owes more than the value of its shareholders' investments.
