Find out how efficiently a business generates sales from its working capital by calculating the working capital turnover ratio.
What Is the Working Capital Turnover Ratio?
The working capital turnover ratio measures how efficiently a company uses its working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) to generate sales. A higher ratio generally suggests the business is using its short-term resources efficiently, while a very high ratio can sometimes signal insufficient working capital to support growth.
The Formula
Working Capital Turnover Ratio = Net Annual Sales ÷ Average Working Capital.
Average working capital is typically the mean of working capital at the start and end of the period. The result shows how many dollars of sales are generated for every dollar of working capital employed. This tool is provided for general business and educational planning purposes only.
