Enter the total long-term debt ($) and the total debt ($) into the Long-Term Debt Ratio Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Long-Term Debt Ratio. 

Long-Term Debt Ratio Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Long-Term Debt Ratio. 

LTDR = LTD / TD * 100
  • Where LTDR is the Long-Term Debt Ratio (%)
  • LTD is the total long-term debt ($) 
  • TD is the total debt ($) 

To calculate the long-term debt ratio, divide the total long-term debt by the total overall debt.

How to Calculate Long-Term Debt Ratio?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Long-Term Debt Ratio.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the total long-term debt ($).
    • The total long-term debt ($) is given as: 1,000.
  2. Next, determine the total debt ($).
    • The total debt ($) is provided as: 4,000.
  3. Finally, calculate the Long-Term Debt Ratio using the equation above: 

LTDR = LTD / TD * 100

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

LTDR = 1,000 / 4,000 * 100 = 25.00 (%)


Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

total long-term debt ($) = 6,000

total debt ($) = 100,000

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

LTDR = LTD / TD * 100 = ?
