# Get Utilization

#### Get Utilization <a href="#get-utilization" id="get-utilization"></a>

This function returns the current protocol utilization of the base asset. The formula for producing the utilization is:

`Utilization = TotalBorrows / TotalSupply`

```solidity
function getUtilization() public view returns (uint)
```

* `RETURNS`: The current protocol utilization percentage as a decimal, represented by an unsigned integer, scaled up by `10 ^ 18`. E.g. `1e17 or 100000000000000000` is 10% utilization.
