The debtor ageing ratio indicates the average time it takes your business to collect its debts. It's worth looking at this ratio over a number of financial years to monitor performance trends.

Use information from your annual profit and loss statement along with the trade debtors figure from your balance sheet for that financial year to calculate this ratio.

For information on using this calculator see below.

A ratio that is lengthening can be the result of some debtors slowing down in their payments. Economic factors, such as a recession, can also influence the ratio. Tightening your business' credit control procedures may be required in these circumstances.

The debtor ageing ratio has a strong impact on business operations particularly working capital. Maintaining a running total of your debtors by ageing (eg. current, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days) is a good idea, not just in terms of making sure you are getting paid for the work or goods you are supplying but also in managing your working capital.

The calculation used to obtain the ratio is:

Debtor Ageing Ratio (in days) =  

(Trade debtors / Sales) * 365
