  • Use the units shown beside each field.
  • Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
  • Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
  • Negative net debt indicates net cash under these inputs. Leases and restricted cash require a consistent chosen definition.

Example Calculation

Example inputs
  • Short-term interest-bearing debt: 50
  • Long-term interest-bearing debt: 200
  • Cash and equivalents: 100

Short-term interest-bearing debt = 50; Long-term interest-bearing debt = 200; Cash and equivalents = 100. The primary result is 150.
