Cash Ratio Formula

Cash Ratio = (Cash + Cash Equivalents) / Current Liabilities

Most Conservative Measure

The cash ratio only considers the most liquid assets. It shows if a company can pay all current liabilities immediately with cash on hand.

Industry Considerations

High cash ratios may indicate conservative management or lack of investment opportunities. Very low ratios suggest potential liquidity risk.
