Equity accounts, like liabilities accounts, have credit balances. This means that entries created on the left side (debit entries) of an equity T-account decrease the equity account balance while journal entries created on the right side (credit entries) increase the account balance.
Whether a debit increases or decreases an account depends on what kind of account it is. In summary: an increase to an asset account is a debit. An increase to a liability or to an equity account is a credit. Conversely, a decrease to an asset account is a credit. A decrease to a liability or equity account is a debit. Debits and credits occur simultaneously in every financial transaction in double-entry bookkeeping.
