Debt/Equity Ratio is a debt ratio used to measure a company's financial leverage, calculated by dividing a companyâs total liabilities by its stockholders' equity. The D/E ratio indicates how much debt a company is using to finance its assets relative to the amount of value represented in shareholdersâ equity. The formula for calculating D/E ratios can be represented in the following way: Debt-Equity Ratio = Total Liabilities / Shareholders' Equity. The result may often be expressed as a number or as a percentage. This form of D/E may often be referred to as risk or gearing.
