How it works
Methodology & formulas
This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.
Calculation steps
1Calculate safety stock in units from daily sales and safety days.
2Reorder point adds lead time demand plus safety stock.
3Annual demand projects daily sales across year days.
4EOQ balances holding cost versus ordering cost using standard EOQ formula.
5Holding and ordering costs computed at EOQ level.
Demand and lead time assumed constant — add buffer via safetyStockDays for variability.
