Answer:
However, since the “number of bonding electrons divided by 2” term is also equal to the number of bonds surrounding the atom, here's the shortcut formula: Formal Charge = [# of valence electrons on atom] – [non-bonded electrons + number of bonds]. Let's apply it to some examples. for example BH4 (top left corner).
