The IBEX 35 is a capitalization-weighted index. The market cap used to calculate the weighting of each constituent is multiplied by a free float factor (ranging from 0.1 to 1) depending on the fraction of shares not subject to block ownership. Any company with 50% or more of its shares considered free float is given a free float factor of 1. Unlike many other European benchmark indices, the weightings of companies in the IBEX 35 are not capped.

As of 2015, international funds based abroad (chiefly in Norway, the United States, the United Kingdom and Qatar) owned 43% of the index, vs. 16% in 1992.{{cite news| author=David Fernández| url=http://economia.elpais.com/economia/2017/01/05/actualidad/1483633831_721553.html | work=El País | title=Los fondos extranjeros se adueñan del IBEX 35 | language=es| date=January 8, 2017}} Such rate of foreign investment was about 5% above the EU average.

The index value (given here as I) of the IBEX 35 index is calculated using the following formula:

$I(t)\; =\; I(t-1)\backslash times\backslash frac\{\backslash sum\_\{i=1\}^\{35\}\; \{\backslash rm\; Cap\}\_\{i\}(t)\backslash ,\}\{[\backslash ,\backslash sum\_\{i=1\}^\{35\}\; \{\backslash rm\; Cap\}\_\{i\}(t-1)\backslash ,\backslash pm\; J\backslash ,]\backslash ,\}$

with t the moment of calculation; Cap the free float market cap of a specific listing and J a coefficient used to adjust the index on the back of capital increases or other corporate actions so as to ensure continuity. The formula can be adjusted to accommodate changes in index structure, such as the temporary suspension of companies pending news.
