We try to use Sonar to manage the software quality, like this page, we can get the technical debt. http://www.sonarqube.org/sqale-the-ultimate-quality-model-to-assess-technical-debt/

My question is, how to define the debt to fix a violation, remove some duplicated code or a new test case. Is there any calculate algorithm?

Well, you get all the required information in the blog post: the SQALE methodology is perfectly explained on the official SQALE website.

The blog post even mentions that there's a Sonar plugin that implements the methodology: the Sonar SQALE plugin.
