Debt-to-Equity Ratio Calculator
Enter your debt and signed equity in the same monetary unit, then declare the debt basis. Zero equity gives an undefined ratio; negative equity gives a signed ratio. No recommended cutoff is applied.
A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Enter both values and choose any required basis.
- Optionally enter your own scenario pairs.

Input and output
Debt ÷ equity; percent = ratio × 100; sum = debt + equity.
Method and limits
SEC financial-statement guidance describes debt divided by equity. Total liabilities and interest-bearing debt are different user-declared bases; this tool neither fetches accounts nor recommends an investment.
Full precision
Enter ordinary decimals only (no exponent or grouping), magnitude ≤ 1e12, at most 12 decimal places. Nonzero magnitudes must be ≥ 1e-12. The report includes unrounded JavaScript numeric values and exact input fractions; repeating decimal quotients remain represented by a fraction.
