Regulation And Capital Adequacy [Abstract]

The table below presents the minimum, capital conservation buffer and total risk-based capital requirements.


	As of
	March		December		March		December
	2026		2025		2026		2025
	Standardized				Advanced
Risk-based capital minimum requirements
CET1 capital ratio	4.5	%	4.5	%	4.5	%	4.5	%
Tier 1 capital ratio	6.0	%	6.0	%	6.0	%	6.0	%
Total capital ratio	8.0	%	8.0	%	8.0	%	8.0	%

Capital conservation buffer requirements
G-SIB surcharge (Method 2)	3.5	%	3.0	%	3.5	%	3.0	%
Stress capital buffer	3.4	%	3.4	%	N/A		N/A
Fixed buffer	N/A		N/A		2.5	%	2.5	%
Countercyclical capital buffer	0.0%		0.0%		0.0%		0.0%
Total	6.9	%	6.4	%	6.0	%	5.5	%

Total risk-based capital requirements
CET1 capital ratio	11.4	%	10.9	%	10.5	%	10.0	%
Tier 1 capital ratio	12.9	%	12.4	%	12.0	%	11.5	%
Total capital ratio	14.9	%	14.4	%	14.0	%	13.5	%

In the table above:

•The total risk-based capital requirements for each of the capital ratios consist of the required risk-based capital minimum and the capital conservation buffer requirements.

•The G-SIB surcharge is calculated using two methodologies (Method 1 and Method 2), the higher of which is reflected in the firm’s capital conservation buffer requirements. Method 1 relies upon measures of the size, interconnectedness, substitutability, complexity and cross-jurisdictional activities of each G-SIB. Method 2 uses similar inputs but includes a measure of reliance on short-term wholesale funding instead of substitutability. As of both March 2026 and December 2025, the G-SIB surcharge (Method 2) was higher and therefore was reflected in the capital conservation buffer requirements.

•Based on the firm’s 2025 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review submission, the FRB has set the stress capital buffer (SCB) for the firm at 3.4% starting October 1, 2025. In February 2026, the FRB announced that BHCs will continue to be subject to their current SCB requirements until they receive new SCB requirements in 2027. As a result, absent further action from the FRB, the 3.4% SCB will remain effective through September 30, 2027.

The table below presents the leverage requirements.


	As of
	March		December
	2026		2025
Tier 1 leverage ratio	4.0	%	4.0	%
SLR	3.75	%	5.0	%

In the table above, the SLR requirement is calculated as the sum of (i) a 3% minimum as of both March 2026 and December 2025 and (ii) a buffer of 0.75% as of March 2026 and 2% as of December 2025.

On January 1, 2026, the firm early adopted the modified Enhanced Supplementary Leverage Ratio (eSLR) standards, which replaced the 2% buffer applicable to G-SIBs, with a buffer equal to 50% of the firm's G-SIB surcharge (Method 1).

The table below presents information about leverage ratios.


	For the Three Months
	Ended or as of
	March			December
$ in millions	2026			2025
Tier 1 capital	$	115,189		$	118,943
Average adjusted total assets	$	1,953,422		$	1,810,007

In the table above:

•Average adjusted total assets represents the average daily assets for the quarter adjusted for deductions from Tier 1 capital.

•Total leverage exposure includes average adjusted total assets and the monthly average of off-balance sheet and other exposures, primarily consisting of derivatives, securities financing transactions, commitments and guarantees.

•Tier 1 leverage ratio is calculated as Tier 1 capital divided by average adjusted total assets.

•SLR is calculated as Tier 1 capital divided by total leverage exposure.

In the table above:

•The lower of the Standardized or Advanced ratio is the ratio against which GS Bank USA’s compliance with the capital requirements is assessed under the risk-based Capital Rules, and therefore, the Standardized ratios applied to GS Bank USA as of both March 2026 and December 2025.

•The Standardized risk-based capital ratios as of March 2026 decreased compared with December 2025, reflecting increases in both Credit and Market RWAs and a decrease in capital. The Advanced risk-based capital ratios as of March 2026 decreased compared with December 2025, reflecting increases in Credit, Market and Operational RWAs and a decrease in capital.

Minimum Risk-Based Capital Under the Standardized and Advanced Capital Rules and the Leverage Ratios and "well-capitalized" Minimum Ratios

The table below presents GS Bank USA’s risk-based capital, leverage and “well-capitalized” requirements.


	As of
	March		December		March		December
	2026		2025		2026		2025
					"Well-capitalized"
	Requirements				Requirements
Risk-based capital requirements
CET1 capital ratio	7.0	%	7.0	%	6.5	%	6.5	%
Tier 1 capital ratio	8.5	%	8.5	%	8.0	%	8.0	%
Total capital ratio	10.5	%	10.5	%	10.0	%	10.0	%

Leverage requirements
Tier 1 leverage ratio	4.0	%	4.0	%	5.0	%	5.0	%
SLR	3.75	%	3.0	%	N/A		6.0	%

In the table above:

•The CET1 capital ratio requirement included a minimum of 4.5%, the Tier 1 capital ratio requirement included a minimum of 6.0% and the Total capital ratio requirement included a minimum of 8.0%. These requirements also included the capital conservation buffer requirements consisting of a 2.5% buffer and the countercyclical capital buffer, which the FRB has set to zero percent.

•The SLR requirement is calculated as the sum of (i) a 3% minimum as of both March 2026 and December 2025 and (ii) a 0.75% buffer as of March 2026. On January 1, 2026, GS Bank USA early adopted the modified eSLR standards, which replaced the SLR requirement for insured depository institution subsidiaries of G-SIBs to be well-capitalized with a new buffer requirement equal to 50% of their parents’ G-SIB surcharge (Method 1), capped at 1%, in addition to the 3% SLR minimum.

•The “well-capitalized” requirement was the binding requirement for the Tier 1 leverage ratio as of both March 2026 and December 2025 and the “well-capitalized” requirement was the binding requirement for the SLR as of December 2025.
