Current Ratio

Formula: Current Assets / Current Liabilities

Example: $200,000 / $100,000 = 2.0

Quick Ratio

Formula: (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities

Example: ($200,000 - $50,000) / $100,000 = 1.5

Cash Ratio

Formula: Cash & Cash Equivalents / Current Liabilities

Example: $30,000 / $100,000 = 0.30

Working Capital Ratio

Formula: (Current Assets - Current Liabilities) / Current Assets

Example: ($200,000 - $100,000) / $200,000 = 0.50 (50%)

Net Working Capital (NWC) % Revenue

Formula: ((Current Assets - Current Liabilities) / Revenue) * 100

Example: (($200,000 - $100,000) / $500,000) * 100 = 20%

Net Debt

Formula: Total Debt - Cash & Cash Equivalents

Example: $80,000 - $30,000 = $50,000

About Liquidity & Working Capital Ratios

Liquidity ratios assess a company’s ability to cover short-term obligations. In addition to the common current and quick ratios, the Cash Ratio focuses on the most liquid assets. The Working Capital Ratio indicates the percentage of current assets that remains after settling liabilities, while the NWC % Revenue metric shows how much working capital is tied to revenue generation.
Net Debt measures the balance between debt and cash, providing insight into financial leverage.

About This Tool

This advanced financial liquidity and working capital ratio by TONTUF Tools calculator is designed to help users quickly assess a company's short-term financial health. It computes several key ratios by taking basic financial inputs, such as current assets, current liabilities, inventory, cash & cash equivalents, revenue, and total debt.

The tool calculates the following ratios:

• Current Ratio: Indicates a company's ability to cover its short-term liabilities with its current assets.
• Quick Ratio: Provides a stricter measure of liquidity by excluding inventory.
• Cash Ratio: Focuses solely on the company's immediate cash resources relative to its liabilities.
• Working Capital Ratio: Shows the proportion of current assets that remains after liabilities are met.
• Net Working Capital (NWC) % Revenue: Reflects how much of the company’s revenue is represented by net working capital.
• Net Debt: Evaluates overall financial leverage by subtracting cash from total debt.

Each ratio comes with a clear formula, an example calculation, and an interpretation that explains whether a value is low, moderate, or high—along with potential reasons for these conditions. The tool also provides a guide to assist users in entering data, and outlines the advantages and disadvantages of relying on these ratios for financial analysis.

Built with a modern, minimalist design that uses a black and white color scheme, this interactive tool includes convenient features such as a reset button to clear inputs and a copy results button to easily save or share the output.
