How this Calculator Works

This calculator computes the Current Ratio (also known as the Working Capital Ratio), comparing current assets against current liabilities. It measures a firm's short-term liquidity and ability to cover debt obligations due within one year. Ratios above 1.5 are generally healthy.

Formula & Methodology

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities - Current Assets is the sum of cash, inventory, and accounts receivable. - Current Liabilities is the short-term debt due within 12 months.

Step-by-Step Calculation Example

Here is a step-by-step example showing how the calculations are performed:

A business reports current assets of $250,000 and current liabilities of $100,000. 1. Divide current assets by current liabilities: $250,000 / $100,000 = 2.50. Result: The current ratio is 2.50.
