This calculator evaluates a macroeconomics relationship while holding unmodelled conditions constant. The implemented relation is NPL ratio = nonperforming loans ÷ gross loans × 100, evaluated from Nonperforming loans, Gross loans, Loan-loss provisions, Regulatory capital to produce Nonperforming loan ratio. Loan classification rules, restructurings, write-offs and collateral valuations affect cross-system comparisons. The result depends on comparable definitions, units, populations and time periods. It estimates a relationship; it does not establish causation or replace current primary data.
The economic question
Calculate nonperforming loans as a share of gross loans and compare provisions.
Why this relationship is useful
Loan classification rules, restructurings, write-offs and collateral valuations affect cross-system comparisons.
Inputs that must be comparable
- Nonperforming loans.
- Gross loans.
- Loan-loss provisions.
- Regulatory capital.
Use one market, firm, population and time period throughout; mixing definitions can make a correctly calculated number economically meaningless.
The model
NPL ratio = nonperforming loans ÷ gross loans × 100
From inputs to output
The calculator combines Nonperforming loans, Gross loans, Loan-loss provisions, Regulatory capital and reportsNonperforming loan ratio together with Provision coverage of NPLs, Unprovided NPLs to regulatory capital. Change one assumption at a time to identify what actually drives the estimate.
