How to Calculate the Quick Ratio
Formula
Quick Ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory - Prepaid Expenses) / Current Liabilities
Also called the acid-test ratio, this metric strips out inventory and prepaid expenses because those assets cannot be converted to cash instantly. The result tells you whether the company can cover its bills using only its most liquid assets such as cash, marketable securities, and receivables.

- 02Quick Ratio = $350,000 / $250,000 = 1.40
- 03The company has $1.40 in liquid assets for each $1 of current liabilities.
Questions Fréquentes
Why exclude inventory from the quick ratio?
Inventory cannot always be sold quickly at full value. In a cash crunch, liquidating inventory may require steep discounts or take weeks, making it an unreliable source of immediate funds.
What quick ratio value is considered safe?
A quick ratio of 1.0 or higher is generally considered adequate. It means the company can cover all short-term debts with liquid assets alone, without needing to sell inventory.
