Formula and methodology
Formula: DPO=average accounts payable/cost base×days in period.
The denominator label remains broad because a business may use purchases or COGS consistently for its own ratio definition.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Average accounts payable — minimum 0; maximum 1000000000000
- Purchases or COGS cost base — minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000000000
- Days in period — minimum 1; maximum 366
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Average accounts payable | 120000 |
| Purchases or COGS cost base | 720000 |
| Days in period | 365 |
DPO ≈60.83 days.
Assumptions and limits
- Payables and cost base use one currency and compatible reporting periods; cost base is positive.
- The selected day count represents the reporting period.
- Supplier terms, overdue balances, discounts, seasonality, and business advice are not modeled.
