Working Capital Calculator Formula

Working Capital = Current Assets − Current Liabilities | Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities | Quick Ratio = (Current Assets − Inventory) / Current Liabilities

Positive working capital means business can meet short-term obligations. Current Ratio > 1.5 is healthy. Quick Ratio > 1 is ideal. Low ratios signal liquidity risk. Too high may indicate idle assets.

Frequently Asked Questions — Working Capital Calculator

What is Working Capital and why does it matter?

Working Capital = Current Assets − Current Liabilities. It represents the short-term financial cushion of a business. Positive working capital means you can pay current bills; negative working capital is a red flag indicating potential insolvency. Working capital management is critical for operational continuity.

What is a good current ratio for businesses?

A current ratio of 1.5-2.5 is generally healthy. Below 1 means current liabilities exceed current assets — dangerous territory. Above 3 may indicate inefficient use of assets (too much inventory or cash). Ideal ratio varies by industry: retail often operates at 1.0-1.5, while manufacturing prefers 2.0+.

How to improve working capital?

Improve receivables collection (reduce debtor days from 60 to 30). Negotiate longer payment terms with suppliers (extend creditor days from 30 to 45). Reduce inventory levels (just-in-time approach). Raise short-term funding (working capital loan, CC limit). Improve cash flow forecasting.
