Simon G. · Working Capital Check · free
How much cash is tied up in stock and receivables, and what is a day worth?
Type a few figures from the last two annual balance sheets. You get the days of stock, the days to collect, how they changed and what one day is worth, updated as you type.
Nothing you type leaves this page. The calculation runs in this browser tab, and the page is built so that it cannot send data anywhere. Your IT department can verify this in the page source.
1 Figures from the last two annual balance sheets
Whole figures, in any currency. Revenue, stock and trade receivables are needed for both years; cost of goods sold, trade payables and net profit are optional and sharpen the result.
Year before
Latest year
Results
This year against last year, in days
What if you held stock and collected payment a few days sooner?
This is arithmetic on last year’s figures, not a forecast: it shows what fewer days would be worth today.
What the figures say
From a figure to a controlled process
This page answers the question once, from two balance sheets. Simon G. works on the same question every night, product by product, on your own server, and keeps a record of what was decided.
The next step is to see which products hold that cash: the Stock Check.
How to read it
- Days of stock
- stock ÷ (cost of goods sold, or revenue when it is not given) × 365
- Days to collect
- trade receivables ÷ revenue × 365
- Days to pay
- trade payables ÷ (cost of goods sold, or revenue when it is not given) × 365
- Cash conversion cycle
- days of stock + days to collect − days to pay
- One day
- (cost of goods sold, or revenue) ÷ 365
What it does not do
- No comparison against other companies
- Year-end balances hide what moved during the year
- It is not an audit of the figures typed in

Questions
Where do my figures go?
Nowhere. The calculation runs in this browser tab. The page carries a security policy that forbids every outgoing connection, and it loads no analytics or third-party scripts.
What if I do not have cost of goods sold?
Days of stock and days to pay are then computed on revenue instead, and the page says so next to the figure. The days will run a little higher than if cost of goods sold had been used, since revenue includes margin.
Why are receivable days always on revenue?
Trade receivables come from sales, so revenue is the figure they are measured against, whether or not cost of goods sold is known.
Does the "what if" control predict anything?
No. It is arithmetic on last year’s figures: what fewer days of stock or a faster collection would be worth today, at today’s revenue and cost. It is not a plan or a forecast.
What does it cost?
This check is free. Simon G., the platform that does this every night, product by product, with approvals and a record of decisions, is a paid product installed on your own infrastructure.
