What is the LCR Calculator?
Compute the Basel liquidity coverage ratio of a bank. To use the LCR Calculator, enter high-quality liquid assets, net 30-day cash outflows; it returns lcr, and shows them instantly as you type.
Where the LCR Calculator fits
Compute the Basel liquidity coverage ratio of a bank. The main figure it returns is the LCR, worked out from the values you enter.
It belongs with the other macroeconomics tools. If you are comparing options or checking a result from another angle, try the NSFR Calculator, GDP Calculator (Gross Domestic Product) or the GDP Deflator Formula Calculator.
How to use the LCR Calculator
- Enter your numbers. The inputs are High-quality liquid assets ($), Net 30-day cash outflows ($). Use real figures from your own records where you can. Fields marked optional can stay at zero.
- Read the result. The highlighted box gives the LCR. Tables and charts break it down further.
- Test other scenarios. Results update as you type. Change one value at a time to see what drives the answer, and press Reset to go back to the defaults.
Formula and how it works
Example with real numbers
Here is the LCR Calculator using the default values shown in the calculator above:
Inputs
| High-quality liquid assets ($) | 120,000,000 |
|---|---|
| Net 30-day cash outflows ($) | 95,000,000 |
Results
| LCR | 126.32% |
|---|
With these inputs the calculator returns LCR: 126.32%. Change any value in the calculator to see how the result moves.
What if you change one input?
Sensitivity check: raising High-quality liquid assets ($) from 120,000,000 to 144,000,000 (about 20% higher) and leaving everything else as in the example above changes the results like this:
| Result | Example | After the change | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| LCR | 126.32% | 151.58% | +20% |
The input that moves the result most is the one to check twice. Change it in the calculator above to test your own case.
Method and limits. This calculator applies the formula in the section above to your inputs, in your browser; nothing you enter is stored on our servers. The result is only as accurate as the numbers you enter and the formula shown above. It is for information, not financial, tax or legal advice.
Frequently asked questions
What LCR is required?
Banks must keep an LCR of at least 100%.
Where do the economic inputs come from?
Use official sources such as the BEA, BLS, Federal Reserve, IMF or World Bank for GDP, CPI, unemployment and money supply figures.
Are these tools for students or professionals?
Both. They apply textbook formulas, so they suit coursework and quick policy or market checks.
Are the results guaranteed?
No. Results depend entirely on the numbers you enter and the formulas shown on this page. Please do not make financial decisions based on them alone; confirm important figures with a licensed professional.
