Paid in Capital

Paid in Capital is the capital invested in the company by the stockholders.  This is different than the concept of earned capital.  Paid in capital are investments in cash or other assets in a company that are exchanged for shares of capital stock.  Usually paid in capital investments by stockholders are never withdrawn from the company and is considered a permanent source of capital.

Paid in capital can be found in the owner's equity section of the balance sheet.
