Assess your personal financial leverage by comparing your total debts (mortgage, loans, credit cards) to your total assets (home, investments, savings).

Example: If you have $200,000 in debt and $500,000 in assets, your ratio is 40%.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the debt-to-asset ratio?: The debt-to-asset ratio measures the percentage of a company's or individual's assets that are financed by debt. It's calculated by dividing total debt by total assets. A higher ratio indicates more leverage and financial risk.
How do I calculate my debt-to-asset ratio?: Simply enter your total debt (all liabilities) and total assets (everything you own) into the calculator. The calculator divides total debt by total assets and multiplies by 100 to give you a percentage.
What is a good debt-to-asset ratio?: A lower ratio is generally better, as it indicates less reliance on debt. For individuals, a ratio below 0.5 (50%) is often considered healthy. For businesses, it varies by industry, but below 0.6 is typically acceptable.

Tips & Common Mistakes

Tips

Use current market values for assets, not purchase prices, to get an accurate ratio.
Include all debts: mortgages, car loans, credit card balances, and any other liabilities.
Compare your ratio over time to track improvements in your financial health.
For businesses, compare your ratio to industry benchmarks to see where you stand.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Forgetting to include all liabilities, such as unpaid taxes or medical bills.
Using the original cost of assets instead of their current market value.
Confusing debt-to-asset ratio with debt-to-income ratio, which uses income instead of assets.
