About the Financial Ratios Calculator
Financial ratios turn a balance sheet and income statement into comparable measures. Profitability ratios (ROE, ROA, margins, ROIC) show how well the business earns; liquidity ratios (current, quick, cash) show whether it can pay short-term bills; leverage ratios show how much it relies on debt; turnover shows how hard its assets work. Use year-end or average balances consistently.
The formula
ROE = NI ÷ equity; current = CA ÷ CL; quick = (CA − inventory) ÷ CL; coverage = EBIT ÷ interest
Worked example
Example: Return on equity = 22.5%
- Inputs: Revenue: $1,200,000; Net income: $90,000; Operating income (EBIT): $130,000; Interest expense: $20,000; Tax rate: 25%; Total assets: $900,000; Shareholders' equity: $400,000; Interest-bearing debt: $300,000; Current assets: $350,000; Inventory: $120,000; Cash and equivalents: $60,000; Current liabilities: $200,000; Total liabilities: $500,000.
- Formula: ROE = NI ÷ equity; current = CA ÷ CL; quick = (CA − inventory) ÷ CL; coverage = EBIT ÷ interest
- Result: Return on equity = 22.5%
