Net charge-off rate financial
"Net charge-off rate is calculated by dividing annualized net charge-offs for the period by average loans held for investment"
Net charge-off rate is the percentage of outstanding loans a lender writes off as uncollectible during a period after subtracting any money later recovered. Think of it like a shop marking damaged items as total loss (then accounting for any partial refunds) — it shows how much credit a lender truly lost. Investors watch it because rising rates signal worsening borrower health, lower future profits and higher risk to a bank’s capital.
30+ day performing delinquency rate financial
"30+ day performing delinquency rate is calculated by dividing 30+ day performing delinquent loans as of the end of the period"
Nonperforming loan rate financial
"Nonperforming loan rate is calculated by dividing nonperforming loans as of the end of the period by period-end loans held for investment"
The nonperforming loan rate is the share of a lender’s loans where borrowers have stopped making agreed payments for an extended period, typically moving toward default. It matters to investors because a rising rate signals more credit problems, higher potential losses and pressure on a lender’s profits and capital — like tracking how many customers never paid their bills to judge a business’s financial health.
Loans held for investment financial
"Loans Held for Investment Net Charge-Offs 30+ Day Performing Delinquencies Nonperforming Loans (Dollars in millions, except as noted)"
Loans held for investment are loans a bank or lender plans to keep on its balance sheet and collect payments from, rather than sell to another party. Think of it like owning a rental property instead of flipping it: the owner expects steady income but also carries the risk that borrowers may stop paying, so investors watch this line to judge a lender’s interest income stability, credit quality, and liquidity needs.
billed finance charges and fees financial
"Period-end loans held for investment and average loans held for investment include billed finance charges and fees."

How does Capital One define net charge-off and delinquency rates?
Net charge-off rate is annualized net charge-offs divided by average loans held for investment. The 30+ day performing delinquency rate is 30+ day performing delinquent loans at period-end divided by period-end loans, calculated separately for each loan category reported.
Does Capital One include billed finance charges in its May 2026 credit card loan metrics?
Yes. For open-ended domestic credit card loans, both period-end and average loans held for investment include billed finance charges and fees. Uncollectible billed charges reduce revenue instead of being treated as net charge-offs, affecting how loss and revenue figures are reported.
