Questions about this tool
How is the cash conversion cycle calculated?
Cash conversion cycle = DSO + DIO − DPO. DSO is receivables ÷ revenue × days, DIO is inventory ÷ cost of goods sold × days, and DPO is payables ÷ cost of goods sold × days.
What does a negative cycle mean?
You collect from customers before you pay suppliers, so suppliers fund your operations. It is possible with fast collection and slow payment, and common for businesses that are paid upfront.
How do I shorten the cycle?
Collect faster (lower DSO), hold less stock (lower DIO) or pay on terms rather than early (higher DPO). The calculator shows what each day is worth in rupees.
Which days should I use?
Use the number of days in the period your figures cover: 30 for a month, 90 for a quarter, 365 for a year. Keep it the same when you compare.
