What it means

Why this metric matters

The ratio shows how heavily funding costs weigh on the whole balance sheet. Rapid increases are an early signal that deposit and borrowing repricing is outrunning asset yields.

How it is calculated

interest_expense_ytd * 4 / quarter_of_year / NULLIF(avg_assets, 0) * 100

Source fields: EINTEXP + ASSET. Annualized as described in the methodology.
