Insolvency Ratio Formula

Formula
$$\text{Insolvency Ratio} = \frac{\text{Total Liabilities}}{\text{Total Assets}}$$

Explanation:
The insolvency ratio shows what portion of a company’s assets is financed by liabilities. A ratio greater than 1 indicates that the company owes more than it owns, suggesting potential financial distress or insolvency.

The insolvency ratio is a simple yet powerful indicator of a company’s financial health. It’s widely used in:

  • Bankruptcy risk evaluation
  • Loan approvals and credit scoring
  • Corporate restructuring and audit

Example Variables:

  • Total Liabilities: $750,000
  • Total Assets: $1,000,000
  • Insolvency Ratio = 750,000 / 1,000,000 = 0.75

Interpretation:

  • Less than 1 = solvent (assets > liabilities)
  • Equal to 1 = borderline
  • Greater than 1 = insolvent (liabilities > assets)
