Total Liabilities

Total liabilities are a company's total debts and financial obligations, including short-term and long-term debts, accounts payable, and other liabilities.

Total liabilities refer to the sum of all financial obligations or debts that a company has to external parties, including current and non-current liabilities. These may include loans, trade payables and other obligations that the company has to settle in the future.

Example of Total Liabilities:

Let’s say a company has the following liabilities:

  • Short-term debt (due within 1 year): Rs 20,00,000
  • Accounts Payable: Rs 15,00,000
  • Long-term debt (due after 1 year): Rs 1,00,00,000
  • Accrued Expenses: Rs 10,00,000

Total Liabilities would be:

Total Liabilities = 20,00,000 + 15,00,000 + 1,00,00,000 + 10,00,000 = Rs 1,45,00,000

So, the company’s Total Liabilities would be Rs 1,45,00,000. This represents the total amount the company owes to external creditors and other parties.
