Use the fields below to evaluate liquidity, compare against a benchmark, and test downside pressure on current assets and liabilities.
| Period | Current Assets | Current Liabilities | Inventory | Cash | Receivables | Working Capital Ratio | Net Working Capital |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | 180,000 | 120,000 | 35,000 | 24,000 | 42,000 | 1.50 | 60,000 |
| February | 205,000 | 128,000 | 38,000 | 28,000 | 49,000 | 1.60 | 77,000 |
| March | 230,000 | 135,000 | 41,000 | 31,000 | 53,000 | 1.70 | 95,000 |
Working Capital Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities
Net Working Capital = Current Assets − Current Liabilities
Quick Ratio = (Current Assets − Inventory) ÷ Current Liabilities
Cash Ratio = Cash & Equivalents ÷ Current Liabilities
Stressed Ratio = Adjusted Assets ÷ Adjusted Liabilities
This model assumes inventory, cash, and receivables are already included inside total current assets.
It measures short-term liquidity by comparing current assets to current liabilities. A higher ratio usually means the business is better positioned to meet near-term obligations.
Many analysts view ratios around 1.5 to 2.0 as healthy, but the right level depends on industry, seasonality, cash conversion speed, and management strategy.
A benchmark helps you judge whether your liquidity is competitive for your sector. It also shows how much additional current assets may be needed to meet market norms.
Net working capital is an amount, not a ratio. It shows the absolute surplus of current assets over current liabilities, while the ratio shows relative coverage strength.
These measures remove less liquid resources or focus only on cash. They give a stricter view of whether obligations can be covered quickly.
Yes. An unusually high ratio can indicate excess idle cash, slow-moving inventory, or inefficient working capital deployment that may reduce returns.
Stress testing shows how liquidity changes if assets fall and liabilities rise. It helps managers evaluate resilience before cash flow pressure appears.
Yes. Repeating the calculation monthly helps track liquidity trends, compare actual results against targets, and support short-term funding decisions.
