Results are estimates for planning and education. Confirm rates, taxes, fees, and legal requirements with the relevant institution or a qualified professional before making a financial decision.

Formula and method

Current assets of 150,000 and current liabilities of 100,000 give a current ratio of 1.5.

Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities

Worked example

Enter these known values and leave the other values blank.

Current assets
150000 USD
Current liabilities
100000 USD
Current ratio
1.5

Assumptions and limitations

  • Use current assets and current liabilities from the same reporting date and accounting basis.
  • Assets and ratio may be zero; liabilities must be positive for a finite ratio. Zero liabilities do not imply a finite ratio of zero.
  • The ratio alone does not establish financial health. Inventory quality, collection timing and industry context also matter.
  • Use the same currency for comparable inputs. Currency selectors use the captured October 7, 2026 exchange-rate snapshot, not current market rates.

Common questions

Is this the quick ratio?

No. The current ratio includes all current assets; the quick ratio excludes specified less-liquid assets.

References

Bookify validates nonnegative current assets and ratio, with a strictly positive liability denominator.
