Z-Score Help

This calculator uses the following formula:

Z-Score = 1.2 * X1 + 1.4 * X2 + 3.3 * X3 + 0.6 * X4 + 0.999 * X5
Where:
  • X1 = Working Capital / Total Assets
  • X2 = Retained Earnings / Total Assets
  • X3 = Earnings before Interest and Taxes / Total Assets
  • X4 = Market Value of Equity / Book Value of Debt
  • X5 = Sales / Total Assets

Edward Altman came up with the Altman Z-Score to create a statistical technique to predict the probability of a company's financial failure.
