💹 Cash Flow to Debt Ratio Calculator
Measure a company’s ability to cover its total debt using cash generated from operations.
What is the cash flow to debt ratio?
The cash flow to debt ratio is a solvency metric that measures how well a company’s operating cash flow can cover its total debt obligations. A higher ratio suggests a stronger ability to pay down debt from ongoing operations.
The formula
Cash Flow to Debt Ratio = Operating Cash Flow / Total Debt. Expressed as a percentage, it shows what portion of total debt could theoretically be repaid using one year’s operating cash flow; its inverse gives a rough estimate of years needed to fully pay off debt at the current cash flow rate.
