Input Fields
| Input | What It Means | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Current Assets | Cash, receivables, inventory, and other assets expected to convert to cash within one year. | Use the latest balance sheet value. |
| Cash Balance | Immediately available cash or bank balance. | Do not include inventory or unpaid invoices here. |
| Inventory | Stock currently held for sale or production. | Used to calculate quick ratio. |
| Current Liabilities | Short-term obligations due within one year. | Include supplier dues, short-term loans, and pending statutory dues. |
| Total Liabilities | All short-term and long-term obligations. | Used against equity to estimate leverage. |
| Total Equity | Owner capital plus retained earnings after liabilities. | If equity is very low, leverage risk rises quickly. |
| Annual Revenue | Total sales or operating income for a year. | Use annualized revenue if only monthly data is available. |
| Annual Net Income | Profit after expenses, interest, tax, and other costs. | Can be negative for loss-making businesses. |
| Monthly Operating Expenses | Average monthly business running costs before debt payments. | Include rent, salaries, utilities, raw material overhead, and recurring costs. |
| Monthly Debt Payments | Average EMI, interest, or debt repayment amount per month. | Set to 0 if there are no monthly debt payments. |
| Revenue Growth | Recent annual or year-on-year revenue growth percentage. | Use negative values if revenue is falling. |
| Market Sentiment | A simple estimate of current market demand and customer outlook. | Move left for weak demand and right for strong demand. |
Metric Meanings
Current Ratio
Formula: Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Shows whether short-term assets can cover short-term obligations. Around 1.5 or above is usually healthier.
Quick Ratio
Formula: (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities
Measures liquidity without relying on inventory. Low values mean the business depends heavily on selling stock to pay bills.
Debt-Equity
Formula: Total Liabilities / Total Equity
Shows how much debt supports the business compared with owner capital. Higher values suggest heavier leverage.
Profit Margin
Formula: Net Income / Annual Revenue
Shows how much profit remains from sales. Thin or negative margins reduce the ability to absorb shocks.
Cash Runway
Formula: Cash Balance / Monthly Cash Shortfall
Estimates how many months cash can cover the current shortfall. If revenue covers expenses and debt, the tool shows no burn.
Debt Coverage
Formula: Average Monthly Revenue / Monthly Debt Payments
Shows how comfortably monthly revenue covers debt payments. Higher is better; low values indicate payment pressure.
Break-even Revenue
Formula: (Operating Expenses + Debt Payments) / Industry Margin Benchmark
Estimates the monthly revenue needed to cover monthly obligations based on the selected industry.
Growth Signal
Formula: Revenue Growth Percentage
Shows whether business momentum is expanding, stable, or contracting.
Risk Score Interpretation
Financial position appears stable. Continue monthly tracking and use the report for planning.
Some indicators need attention. Review cash flow weekly and prioritize the two weakest metrics.
Financial stress is high. Freeze nonessential spending, build a short-term cash plan, and consider restructuring advice.
