Debt Per Capita Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Debt Per Capita ($DPC$):

\[ DPC = \frac{D}{P} \]

Where:

$DPC$ is the Debt Per Capita ($/person)
$D$ is the total debt ($)
$P$ is the total population

What is Debt Per Capita?

Debt Per Capita is a measure of the average debt per person in a given population. It is calculated by dividing the total debt by the total population.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Debt ($D$) = $1,000,000
Total Population ($P$) = 50,000

Using the formula:

\[ DPC = \frac{1000000}{50000} = 20$/person \]

The debt per capita is $20 per person.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Debt ($D$) = $5,000,000
Total Population ($P$) = 100,000

Using the formula:

\[ DPC = \frac{5000000}{100000} = 50 $/person \]

The debt per capita is $50 per person.
