Formula Used

  • Current Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities
  • Quick Ratio = (Current Assets − Inventory) ÷ Current Liabilities
  • Debt to Equity = Total Debt ÷ Total Equity
  • Operating Margin = Operating Income ÷ Revenue
  • Net Profit Margin = Net Income ÷ Revenue
  • Interest Coverage = Operating Income ÷ Interest Expense
  • Cash Flow to Debt = Operating Cash Flow ÷ Total Debt
  • Return on Assets = Net Income ÷ Total Assets

Metric score for higher-is-better ratios = min((Actual ÷ Target) × 100, 100)

Metric score for lower-is-better ratios = min((Target ÷ Actual) × 100, 100)

Financial Health Score = Sum of all metric contributions, where each contribution is (Metric Score × Metric Weight) ÷ Total Weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the financial health score represent?

It summarizes several financial ratios into one weighted score from 0 to 100. A higher result usually indicates better liquidity, leverage control, profitability, and debt coverage when compared with your chosen benchmarks.

2. Why are benchmark targets included?

Benchmarks let you compare your ratios against realistic goals rather than fixed universal standards. This is useful because acceptable levels differ by industry, company size, growth stage, and risk appetite.

3. Why can the same company get different scores?

Scores change when targets, weights, or raw financial values change. A company may appear stronger under one benchmark set and weaker under another because priorities vary between lenders, owners, and managers.

4. Is a score above 70 always good?

A score above 70 is usually a positive sign, but context matters. Seasonal businesses, capital-intensive firms, and distressed turnaround cases may need deeper review beyond a single blended score.

5. Can I use negative income or cash flow values?

Yes. The calculator accepts negative operating income, net income, and operating cash flow. Negative values will lower related ratio scores and may sharply reduce the final financial health result.

6. Which ratios matter most for creditors?

Creditors often focus on liquidity, interest coverage, cash flow to debt, and leverage. You can increase those weights to make the final score better reflect a lender-centered analysis.

7. Should I compare one period or many periods?

Use many periods whenever possible. A trend across monthly, quarterly, or yearly results is more useful than a single snapshot because it shows whether financial strength is improving or deteriorating.

8. What is the best way to improve a weak score?

Improve working capital discipline, reduce expensive debt, strengthen gross and operating margins, increase collections, and improve asset efficiency. The best action depends on which metric contributes the least.
