What is the formula for owner's equity

Accounting

ScanSolve AI Answer

Owner's equity is calculated using the accounting equation:

Owner’s Equity=Assets−Liabilities\text{Owner's Equity} = \text{Assets} - \text{Liabilities}

This formula means that the owner's stake in the business is what remains after all the business's debts (liabilities) are paid off from its assets.
