Abstract: This paper generalizes a result of Lynn on the "degree" of an equivariant cohomology ring $H_G^{\ast }(X)$. The degree of a graded module is a certain coefficient of its Poincar'{e} series, and is closely related to multiplicity. In the present paper, we study these commutative algebraic invariants for equivariant cohomology rings. The main theorem is an additivity formula for degree: ${\displaystyle }$deg(H^*_G(X)) = sum_{[A,c] in mathcal{Q'}_{max}(G,X)}frac{1}{|W_G(A,c)|} deg(H^*_{C_G(A,c)}(c)).${\displaystyle }$ We also show how this formula relates to the additivity formula from commutative algebra, demonstrating both the algebraic and geometric character of the degree invariant.
