Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) · Days-to-Dollars
Turn cash conversion days into dollars — and see which lever moved.
Your balances
Full CCC or services (DSO − DPO). Keep the example, or plug in your own.
Days and dollars
CCC components in days and ≈$/day — then dial each lever (−30…+30 days or $).
Cash impact by component dial ($)
How this is calculated
- DSO = AR ÷ Revenue × period days
- DIO = Inventory ÷ COGS × period days (0 in Services mode)
- DPO = AP ÷ COGS × period days
- CCC = DIO + DSO − DPO (Services: DSO − DPO)
- $ / day DSO ≈ Revenue ÷ period days
- $ / day DIO / DPO ≈ COGS ÷ period days
- Dial — change days (−30…+30); cash impact: DSO/DIO ↓ frees cash (−days × $/day); DPO ↑ frees cash (+days × $/day). Switch to $ mode to set a signed cash move.
