Total Debt
The sum of a company's interest-bearing borrowings — short-term and long-term loans, bonds, and lease obligations.
What it is
Total Debt is the combined amount a company owes on its interest-bearing obligations, including short-term borrowings, the current portion of long-term debt, long-term loans, bonds, and capitalized lease liabilities. It is a narrower figure than total liabilities, which also includes non-debt items like accounts payable and deferred taxes. It is drawn from the liabilities side of the balance sheet.
Why it matters
Total Debt measures financial leverage and is central to solvency ratios like Debt-to-Equity and Net Debt, helping you judge how much risk borrowing adds. A common pitfall is comparing total debt without netting out cash, or ignoring lease liabilities that modern accounting now puts on the balance sheet.
How it's calculated
Add short-term debt (including the current portion of long-term debt) to long-term debt, plus capitalized lease obligations where reported.
How Quintarthai uses it
Total Debt feeds the leverage ratios on the Ratios tab and appears in the balance sheet on the Financials tab; both are on the company page at /app/.
