What Working Capital Is and How to Figure Yours

The formula

Current assets minus current liabilities equals net working capital. Current assets are cash, money customers owe you and inventory. Current liabilities are bills and debts due within a year.

What a good number looks like

A positive number means you can cover what is due soon. A negative number means you may struggle to. Track it every month to catch problems early.

If yours runs short

You can speed up collections, adjust your inventory or look at outside funding. Compare options by cost, speed and how the payments fit your cash flow.
