FAQ
What's a ratio?
A ratio is calculated from two or more figures, usually taken from the financial statements of a company, in order to provide an indication of the financial performance and position of that company. Ratios may be expressed:
Ratios may also be calculated over a period, so as to enable an analysis of trends to be formulated, or compared to other similar companies or industry averages.

What other ratios are out there besides financial ratios?
Technically speaking, every department could produce ratios to approximate performance. Some may be more insightful than others; a ratio of dirty dishes in the breakroom vs. number of employees might indicate how tidy a department is. Ratio information may be related to operational considerations within the department, the financial condition of the entire company, or the performance of a company's suppliers and customers.
