Change any input and the result changes. Use this to compare scenarios, not to plan around a specific number.

How the Current Ratio Is Calculated
Current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities.
What Is a Good Current Ratio?
A current ratio of 1.0 or higher generally means a company has enough current assets to cover its current liabilities. Acceptable ratios vary by industry.
What the Current Ratio Measures
The current ratio measures a company's ability to cover short-term obligations using all current assets, including inventory. This is the key difference from the quick ratio, which excludes inventory.
A higher current ratio isn't automatically better. A disproportionately high ratio can indicate a business isn't using its current assets efficiently, or is holding excess inventory rather than converting it to sales.
Tracking a company's current ratio over time is often more useful than looking at a single reading. A declining ratio can be an early signal of developing cash flow problems, even when the business still meets its obligations in the current period.
