How to calculate
Divide each average balance by its matching period flow and multiply by period days. Add inventory and receivable days, then subtract payable days.
CCC=average inventory/COGS×days + average receivables/credit sales×days − average payables/credit purchases×days
Worked example
With 360 days, credit sales 1200, COGS 720, credit purchases 900, average receivables 100, inventory 60 and payables 100, days are 30, 30 and 40; CCC is 20 days.
Assumptions and input details
Use consistent period totals and average balances, not mismatched annual flows and month-end snapshots. Payable days explicitly use credit purchases, not an undisclosed COGS proxy. A zero relevant flow makes that component and the combined cycle undefined. Negative CCC is possible. No credit policy, collectible dates, funding rate or operational recommendation is inferred. No live market data or national tax rules are inferred. Enter consistent amounts in one currency unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Using this calculator
Can I enter my own problem?
Yes. Replace the example values with your own inputs. The result, calculation steps, tables and applicable diagrams update from those inputs. Blank or invalid values clear the result; example values are never silently substituted for missing inputs.
Are the results exact?
Results use floating-point arithmetic and displayed rounding. Read the formula, assumptions and any stated data precision before interpreting the result.
Is my input uploaded?
The calculation runs in your browser. No account, file upload or external AI service is required. Inputs are not saved between page reloads.
Compare current, quick and cash ratios from a component-based current-asset snapshot.
Compare whole-pack order quantities using entered ordering and holding costs, with minimum-order and reorder-point assumptions.
