## Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)

WACC is a financial metric that helps in calculating a firm’s cost of financing by combining the cost of debt and cost of equity structure together.

`WACC` = `Equity Weight` * `Cost of Equity` + `Debt Weight` * `Cost of Debt` * (1 - `Tax Rate`)

`Tax Rate` = `Income Tax Expense` / `Income Before Tax`

This is the company’s **effective tax rate**, reflecting the average rate of tax actually paid on its pre-tax earnings (including all statutory, deferred, and non-recurring items).

This rate is used to adjust the after-tax cost of debt, since interest expense is tax-deductible.

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)

WACC is a financial metric that helps in calculating a firm’s cost of financing by combining the cost of debt and cost of equity structure together.

WACC = Equity Weight * Cost of Equity + Debt Weight * Cost of Debt * (1 - Tax Rate)
