How Calculations Work
The model calculates standard financial ratios from the input data: gross margin (gross profit / revenue), operating margin (operating income / revenue), net margin (net income / revenue), and growth rate from period comparison. Liquidity ratios assess short-term health. The composite health score weights margin health, growth trajectory, liquidity adequacy, and leverage level into a single 0-100 score. Trend indicators compare each metric to its prior period value.
Example Use Case
Scenario: Revenue: $2.1M (prior: $1.85M). Gross profit: $1.26M. Operating expenses: $980K. Net income: $280K. Cash: $620K. Current liabilities: $410K. Total debt: $350K. Total equity: $1.4M.
Result: Gross margin: 60%. Operating margin: 13.3%. Net margin: 13.3%. Revenue growth: 13.5%. Current ratio: 1.51. Debt-to-equity: 0.25. Health score: 78/100. Trends: revenue up, margins stable, liquidity adequate, leverage low. Summary: strong growth with healthy margins and conservative debt levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ratios are included by default?
Gross margin, operating margin, net margin, revenue growth, current ratio, quick ratio, debt-to-equity, and cash runway. You can add or remove ratios in CONFIG.
How is the health score weighted?
Default weights: profitability (30%), growth (25%), liquidity (25%), leverage (20%). Adjust weights in CONFIG to reflect what matters most for your business stage (e.g., growth-stage companies may weight growth higher).
Can I customize the one-page layout?
The OUTPUT sheet is formatted for printing on a single page. You can reorder sections in CONFIG. Keep the layout concise; adding too many metrics defeats the purpose of a summary.
How often should this be produced?
Monthly for internal leadership. Quarterly for board and investors. The model stores prior period data automatically for trend comparison.
What if my business does not have debt?
Enter zero for total debt. The debt-to-equity ratio will show 0, and the leverage component of the health score will receive a full score, reflecting the absence of debt risk.
