Quick ratio calculatorCompute the quick (acid-test) ratio, excluding inventory from current assets.Debt-to-asset ratio calculatorThe debt-to-asset ratio — total liabilities ÷ total assets, expressed as a percentage — shows what share of a company's assets is financed by debt. A ratio of 40% means creditors fund 40% of the assets and owners the rest. It is a core solvency gauge; this is distinct from the debt-to-income ratio used for personal loans.Debt-to-equity ratio calculatorCompute a company's debt-to-equity ratio from total debt and equity.Debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) calculatorThe DSCR — net operating income ÷ total debt service — tells lenders whether a property or business earns enough to cover its loan payments. A DSCR of 1.25 means income is 25% above the debt due, the level most commercial lenders require. Below 1.0 the cash flow cannot cover the debt.Fixed charge coverage ratio (FCCR) calculatorThe fixed charge coverage ratio widens interest coverage to include lease and other fixed charges: (EBIT + fixed charges) ÷ (fixed charges + interest). Switch to EBITDA mode to add back depreciation and amortisation, and add principal repayments grossed up by the tax rate when a loan covenant defines FCCR that way. Lenders often require at least 1.25.Interest coverage ratio (ICR) calculatorThe interest coverage ratio — EBIT ÷ interest expense — shows how comfortably operating profit covers interest on debt. Analysts often use an EBITDA variant that adds depreciation and amortisation back, giving a cash-flow-based view of the same cushion. Values under 1.5 are generally seen as risky.Capital employed calculatorCapital employed — the total capital a business uses to generate profit — by any of the three standard methods: total assets minus current liabilities, non-current assets plus working capital, or equity plus non-current liabilities. Add operating profit (EBIT) and it also returns the ROCE.ROCE calculatorReturn on capital employed measures how much operating profit a company squeezes from every unit of long-term capital. It divides EBIT by capital employed (total assets minus current liabilities) — a favourite of value investors for comparing capital efficiency across firms and against the cost of capital.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Current ratio calculator work?

It takes Current assets and Current liabilities and derives Current ratio from them. The calculation is live as you type, so the result updates on every change.

Which values does the calculator ask for?

2 values: Current assets ($) and Current liabilities ($). Nothing else is required — no account, no file upload.

What does a typical calculation look like?

With Current assets = $100,000.00 and Current liabilities = $60,000.00, the calculator returns Current ratio = 1.667. Those figures come from running this exact tool, so you can reproduce them by entering the same values.

When would I actually use this?

Running the week: issuing an invoice or a quote, knowing what is in stock and what to reorder, and seeing whether cash covers what is due.

What is the most common mistake?

Reading profit as cash. A profitable month with sixty-day payment terms can still leave the account empty — the two numbers answer different questions.

What is the difference between the Current ratio calculator and the Quick ratio calculator?

This one returns Current ratio; the Quick ratio calculator returns Quick ratio. That is the whole difference — open the one whose figure you need.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Debt-to-asset ratio calculator is the closest one after this: The debt-to-asset ratio — total liabilities ÷ total assets, expressed as a percentage — shows what share of a company's assets is financed by debt. A ratio of 40% means creditors fund 40% of the assets and owners the rest. It is a core solvency gauge; this is distinct from the debt-to-income ratio used for personal loans.

What else is worth having open alongside it?

Debt-to-equity ratio calculator and Debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) calculator — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from, and how current are they?

The arithmetic is exact for what you enter. Invoice content, VAT treatment and mandatory mentions are set by national rules — an invoice that computes correctly can still be non-compliant.
