Enter the total debt ($) and the total capital ($) into the Debt to Capital Ratio Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Debt to Capital Ratio. 

Debt to Capital Ratio Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Debt to Capital Ratio. 

DCR = D / C * 100

  • Where DCR is the Debt to Capital Ratio (%)
  • D is the total debt ($) 
  • C is the total capital ($) 

How to Calculate Debt to Capital Ratio?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Debt to Capital Ratio.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the total debt ($). 
    • The total debt ($) is given as: 40,000.
  2. Next, determine the total capital ($). 
    • The total capital ($) is provided as: 100,000.
  3. Finally, calculate the Debt to Capital Ratio using the equation above: 

DCR = D / C * 100

The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:

DCR = 40,000 / 100,000 * 100 = 40.00 (%)

Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

total debt ($) = 60,000

total capital ($) = 500,000

Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator above.
