How this works

Compare current assets with current liabilities.

Formula

Working capital = current assets − current liabilities. Current ratio = assets ÷ liabilities.

Assumptions and limits

A balance-sheet snapshot. The ratio is undefined with zero liabilities; it does not establish liquidity by itself.

Worked example

Replace the example with your own figures, then compare scenarios. Include all relevant costs and use records from matching periods.
