ROIC Formula

Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) = Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) / Invested Capital

The Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) is calculated using the reported Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) or Operating Income on the income statement adjusted for the tax liability.

Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) = Operating Income * (1 - Income Tax Rate)

There are two ways to calculate invested capital: One looks at the company's assets, and another looks at its financing from debt and equity. In this model, we are using the financing based approach.

Invested Capital = Total Stockholders Equity + Total Debt - Cash and Short Term Investments
