Working Capital Calculator
Inputs and units
Use the units shown for Cash and equivalents ($), Accounts receivable ($), Inventory ($), Other current assets ($), Current liabilities ($). Required fields cannot be blank. Use zero only where that field and the model allow it. Select Calculate after changing a scenario.
Method and assumptions
Current assets equal cash, receivables, inventory and other current assets. Net working capital subtracts current liabilities. Current ratio divides all current assets by current liabilities. The quick ratio here uses only cash and receivables; unspecified other assets and inventory are excluded.
Worked example
Cash 100, receivables 50, inventory 30, other assets 20 and liabilities 50 produce working capital 150, current ratio 4 and quick ratio 3.
Limitations
Zero current liabilities make both ratios undefined rather than zero. Include eligible short-term liquid investments in cash if appropriate; other current assets may contain items unsuitable for a quick ratio. Asset recoverability is not assessed.
