What is the Current Ratio Calculator & How does it work?
The Current Ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company’s ability to pay off its short-term liabilities with its current assets. It is calculated by dividing the total current assets by the total current liabilities.
Current Ratio = frac{Current Assets}{Current Liabilities}
CR = Current Ratio
CA = Current Assets
CL = Current Liabilities
A current ratio of 1 or higher indicates that a company has enough current assets to cover its current liabilities. However, a high current ratio might also indicate that the company is not efficiently using its assets.
