Monthly operating NWC
Method and limitations
Educational calculation only. Use your transaction agreement and source records. No audit, assurance opinion, investment or legal advice.
Operating NWC = AR + inventory − AP − accruals. Peg = arithmetic average of monthly NWC. Price adjustment = closing NWC − peg; positive increases price, negative reduces it. Cash and debt are excluded. Seasonal or growing businesses may need a different negotiated target.
