Following table summarizes the internal and external indeterminacy in relation to the overall structural indeterminacy.
| Aspect | Internal
  Indeterminacy (I.I) | External
  Indeterminacy (E.I) | 
| Definition | The excess number of internal forces that cause
  a structure to be indeterminate. | The excess number of external reactions that
  make the structure indeterminate. | 
| Formula | I.I= i−E.I | E.I= r−e  | 
| Where | i = total indeterminacy | r = number of support reactions | 
| E.I = external indeterminacy | e = number of equilibrium conditions | |
| Equilibrium Conditions (e) | e=3 for plane frames | e=6 for space frames | 
| Total Indeterminacy | i=I.I+E.I |
