Business Calculators

Sales Volume Breakeven Analysis
The breakeven analysis calculator is designed to demonstrate how many units of your product must be sold to make a profit. Hit "View Report" to see a detailed look at the profit generated at each sales volume level.

Financial Ratios
This calculator is designed to show you ten different financial ratios. Financial ratios are used as indicators that allow you to zero in on areas of your business that may need attention. Areas such as solvency, liquidity, operational efficiency and profitability.

Working Capital Needs
Your working capital is used to pay short-term obligations such as your accounts payable and buying inventory. If your working capital dips too low, you risk running out of cash. Even very profitable businesses can run into trouble if they lose the ability to meet their short-term obligations. The calculator assists you in determining working capital needs for the next year.

Inventory Analysis
This calculator helps you determine how much inventory you should hold, and when you should place inventory orders. The calculation attempts to keep your inventory level as efficient as possible, while maintaining adequate safety stock.

Business Debt Consolidation
Should you consolidate your business debt? This calculator is designed to help determine if debt consolidation is right for you. Fill in your loan amounts, credit card or credit line balances and other outstanding debt. You can then see what your monthly payment would be with a consolidated loan.
