Age 15Explain it to a 15-year-oldConnect it to the formula
A very high ratio may reflect efficiency or inadequate liquidity, so interpret it alongside cash-cycle and current-ratio measures. The rule is Working capital turnover = revenue ÷ average net working capital. Its input values are Annual revenue, Average current assets, Average current liabilities, and the main result is Working capital turnover. Try changing one number and watch what happens to Working capital turnover.
CollegeExplain it at college levelState the model precisely
This tool models one operating decision from explicitly supplied company assumptions. The implemented relation is Working capital turnover = revenue ÷ average net working capital, evaluated from Annual revenue, Average current assets, Average current liabilities to produce Working capital turnover. A very high ratio may reflect efficiency or inadequate liquidity, so interpret it alongside cash-cycle and current-ratio measures. The model omits unentered taxes, cash timing, legal constraints and market uncertainty. Compare the output with company records and a downside scenario before committing resources.
The decision this tool supports
Measure revenue produced for each unit of average net working capital.
Why the business model works

Inputs and operating assumptions
This model uses Annual revenue, Average current assets, Average current liabilities. Keep currencies, accounting treatment and time periods consistent with one another.
The formula
Working capital turnover = revenue ÷ average net working capital
What the calculator produces
