Calculate Your Inventory Turnover
Inventory Turnover Calculator
Measure how many times a year your average inventory sells through and gets replaced. The single most consequential operational KPI in retail. It connects buying decisions, warehouse cash, markdown risk, and finance targets into one number. This calculator returns the turn ratio, converts it into days and weeks of supply, and shows how much working capital a one-turn improvement releases.

Reorder Point Calculator
Set the trigger level that fires the next PO for an SKU. Reorder point combines expected demand during lead time with a buffer for the weeks that run hot. Get either half wrong and you either stock out or bury cash on the shelf. This calculator returns the ROP, the lead-time demand, the buffer as a percent of expected demand, and the days of supply the ROP represents at current sales velocity.

EOQ Calculator
Find the order size that minimizes what you spend keeping an SKU stocked. Small orders push order cost up. Big orders push carrying cost up. EOQ finds the point where the two curves cross so you stop paying more than you have to, and it anchors every reorder point and safety stock decision downstream.

Days Inventory Outstanding Calculator
Convert your inventory position into a number finance actually reads: the average days of cash sitting on the warehouse floor. DIO is the same measurement as [inventory turnover](/calculators/inventory-management/inventory-turnover-calculator) in days instead of a ratio, and it maps directly onto working capital, cash conversion cycle and reorder cadence. This calculator returns DIO, weeks of supply, implied turnover, and the exact cash a 10-day DIO improvement would release.
