Invested capital is the total sum of money invested in a company or business by stakeholders. It may also include assets that are not in cash. You can calculate it by using this method.  Invested Capital = Total short-term debt + Total long-term debt + Total lease obligation + Total equity + Total non-operating cash or investments. Another method of calculating invested capital is the addition of net working capital for operations, net fixed assets of accumulated depreciation, and net intangible (or other assets) needed for operations. This is called the operating method.
