Invested capital

Invested capital represents the total cash investment that shareholders and debtholders have made in a company. There are two different but completely equivalent methods for calculating invested capital.[1] The operating approach is calculated as:

Invested capital = operating net working capital + net property, plant & equipment + capitalized operating leases + other operating assets + operating intangibles other operating liabilities cumulative adjustment for amortization of R&D

Equivalently, the financing approach is calculated as

Invested capital = total debt and leases
+ total equity and equity equivalents
non-operating cash and investments

Invested capital is used in several important measurements of financial performance, including return on invested capital, economic value added, and free cash flow.
