What is Expected Loss ?

Expected loss is a pivotal metric in risk management, representing the average financial impact anticipated from potential losses within a specific portfolio or exposure. It combines the probability of an adverse event occurring, such as a borrower defaulting, with the severity of the resulting loss and the exposure at the time of the event. This calculation enables businesses, financial institutions, and insurers to gauge the overall risk within their operations, allocate appropriate reserves, set pricing strategies, and make informed decisions regarding risk acceptance or mitigation. By quantifying the expected loss, organizations can better prepare for uncertainties, safeguard financial stability, and optimize risk-return trade-offs.

How to Calculate Expected Loss?

Expected Loss calculator uses Expected Loss = Default Probability*Loss Severity given Default to calculate the Expected Loss, The Expected Loss is the anticipated financial loss resulting from a specific risk event, calculated as the product of loss severity, probability of default, and exposure at default. Expected Loss is denoted by EL symbol.
