Current Ratio Calculator
The Current Ratio Calculator evaluates a company's short-term liquidity by comparing current assets to current liabilities. A ratio above 1.0 indicates the business can cover its short-term obligations — essential for credit analysis and financial health assessment.

What is the Current Ratio?
The current ratio measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations (due within one year) using short-term assets. Calculated as Current Assets / Current Liabilities, a ratio of 2.0 means the company has $2 of assets for every $1 of liabilities.
A healthy current ratio typically falls between 1.5 and 3.0. Below 1.0 signals potential liquidity problems. Above 3.0 may suggest inefficient use of assets. Industry benchmarks vary — utilities often operate at lower ratios than retail businesses.

Часто Задаваемые Вопросы
What is a good current ratio? ▼
Generally 1.5 to 3.0 is considered healthy. Below 1.0 means the company may struggle to pay short-term debts. Above 3.0 might indicate excess idle assets that could be invested more productively.
What's included in current assets? ▼
Cash, accounts receivable, inventory, marketable securities, and prepaid expenses — any asset expected to be converted to cash within one year.
How does current ratio differ from quick ratio? ▼
The quick ratio excludes inventory from current assets because inventory may not be quickly convertible to cash. Quick Ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities. It's a stricter measure of liquidity.
Can the current ratio be too high? ▼
Yes. A very high current ratio (above 3.0) may indicate the company isn't using its assets efficiently — too much cash sitting idle instead of being invested in growth opportunities.
How often should current ratio be monitored? ▼
Quarterly, aligned with financial reporting periods. Track trends over time rather than single snapshots. A declining trend from 2.5 to 1.2 over several quarters signals deteriorating liquidity.
