How to use the Working Capital Calculator
Enter values from the same balance-sheet date and accounting definition. Current assets can include receivables and inventory, so the difference is not the bank cash balance.
The calculation
Worked example
$150,000 current assets and $100,000 current liabilities give $50,000 working capital and a 1.5 current ratio.
Assumptions and limits
No company valuation, credit assessment or industry benchmark is inferred. The ratio is undefined when current liabilities are zero; the difference still remains valid.
