How the current ratio calculator works
The current ratio tests whether a business can pay its short-term debts from its short-term assets. Enter your total current assets and total current liabilities from the balance sheet.
Worked example
Current assets are 60,000 and current liabilities are 40,000. Current ratio = 60,000 ÷ 40,000 = 1.5. The business has 1.50 of current assets for every 1.00 of current liabilities.
