Financial Ratios Calculator by TheCalcTools

How the Financial Ratios Calculator works

Enter figures from the balance sheet.

Current and quick ratios compare liquid assets with short-term obligations.

Debt-to-equity shows how much of the business is financed by creditors versus owners.

The formula

Current ratio = current assets ÷ current liabilitiesQuick ratio = (current assets − inventory) ÷ current liabilities

Worked example

Using the default values shown in the calculator:

Current assets$150000
Inventory$40000
Current liabilities$90000
Total liabilities$200000
Shareholders' equity$250000
  1. Current ratio = 150,000 ÷ 90,000 = 1.67.
  2. Quick ratio = 110,000 ÷ 90,000 = 1.22.
  3. Debt-to-equity = 200,000 ÷ 250,000 = 0.80.

Result:

Current ratio1.67
Quick ratio1.22
Working capital$60,000
Debt-to-equity0.80

Frequently asked questions

What is a healthy current ratio?

Often 1.5 to 2, but it depends on the industry. Below 1 means short-term obligations exceed short-term assets.

Why exclude inventory in the quick ratio?

Inventory can take time to sell, so the quick ratio tests whether you can pay bills from more liquid assets.
