Return on Equity (ROE) ROE Calculation A company's ROE ratio is calculated by dividing the company's net income by its shareholder equity, or book value. The formula is simple: Net Income/Average Common Equity* *Total assets less total liabilities You can find net income on the income statement, but you can also take the sum of the last four quarters worth of earnings. Shareholders equity, meanwhile, is located on the balance sheet and is simply the difference between total assets and total liabilities. Shareholder equity represents the tangible assets that have been produced by the business. Both net income and shareholder equity should cover the same period of time.net incomeshareholder equitybook valueincome statementassetsliabilities
