There is no single perfect number, but general guidance is:
  • Negative CCC: Excellent. You collect cash before paying suppliers. Common in retail and subscription models.
  • 0 to 30 days: Strong and healthy for most businesses.
  • 30 to 60 days: Acceptable but worth monitoring.
  • Over 60 days: Often a warning sign that too much cash is tied up in receivables or inventory.

How Efficiently Does Your Business Turn Operations Into Cash?

If you’ve ever asked, “Why are we growing but always short on cash?” or “Where is our cash getting stuck?”, this calculator is built for you.

The Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) Calculator helps you understand how quickly your business turns operations into cash. By entering your Revenue (TTM), COGS (TTM), and your current balances for Accounts Receivable, Inventory / WIP, and Accounts Payable, the calculator shows your DSO, DIO, DPO, and overall CCC in days.

This tool is ideal for business owners, CFOs, and finance leaders who want to improve liquidity, reduce cash tied up in operations, and gain clarity on working capital.

 

Move From Guesswork to Real Working Capital Levers 

Many businesses focus on profit, but cash is often driven by something else, how fast you collect from customers, how long inventory sits, and how quickly you pay suppliers. This calculator breaks it down clearly, cash comes in through collections, cash gets tied up in inventory, and cash goes out through supplier payments. By viewing DSO, DIO, and DPO side by side, you can identify exactly where cash is getting stuck and focus on the levers that matter most, faster collections, better inventory turns, or improved payment terms.
