Compare liquid current assets with current liabilities.
Formula
- Use the units shown beside each field.
- Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
- Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
Example Calculation
- Cash and equivalents: 10000 $
- Marketable securities: 5000 $
- Accounts receivable: 15000 $
- Current liabilities: 20000 $
Liquid assets of $30,000 against $20,000 current liabilities give 1.5.
