Frequently asked questions
- What is a good SaaS Quick Ratio?
- Quick Ratio ≥ 4 is excellent (high growth, low churn). 2–4 is solid. 1–2 means growth is being offset heavily by churn. Below 1 means net MRR is declining.
- How is SaaS Quick Ratio different from the traditional quick ratio?
- The traditional quick ratio (current assets / current liabilities) measures liquidity. The SaaS Quick Ratio measures revenue growth quality — it has no relationship to the accounting quick ratio beyond sharing the name.
