Owner's equity is used to explain the difference between a company's assets and liabilities. The formula for owner's equity is: Owner's Equity = Assets - Liabilities. Assets, liabilities, and subsequently the owner's equity can be derived from a balance sheet, which shows these items at a specific point in time.
And remember, equity is expensive. Giving someone a 5% stake, means that that party owns 5% of your firm's net worth and profits forever!
The simplest way to calculate equity is by subtracting all liabilities from all assets on the balance sheet; what you are left with is your company's equity that can be returned to shareholders, as appropriate.
How Is Equity Calculated? Equity is equal to total assets minus its total liabilities. These figures can all be found on a company's balance sheet for a company. For a homeowner, equity would be the value of the home less any outstanding mortgage debt or liens.
