Definition of Change In Net Working Capital



Change in net working capital means a change in net current assets. Net working capital is the difference between the current assets and current liabilities. The change in net working capital will be calculated by comparing the net working capital of two consecutive periods.

 


The change in net working capital can be positive or negative. A positive change in net working capital means that the business has to find a source of additional funds in order to run the business smoothly.

 


Assume the net working capital in June 2020 was $800,000 and in July 2020 it is $900,000. It means that you have to find a way of acquiring $100,000 to fill the gap.
