Working capital
Working capital (also known as net working capital) is a financial metric which represents the amount of day-by-day operating liquidity available to a business. Along with fixed assets such as plant and equipment, working capital is considered a part of operating capital. It is calculated as
current assets minus
current liabilities. A company can be endowed with
assets and
profitability, but short of
liquidity, if these assets cannot readily be converted into cash.

It usually refers to net working capital: current assets minus current liabilities.
