    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

    1. 1Calculate safety stock in units from daily sales and safety days.
    2. 2Reorder point adds lead time demand plus safety stock.
    3. 3Annual demand projects daily sales across year days.
    4. 4EOQ balances holding cost versus ordering cost using standard EOQ formula.
    5. 5Holding and ordering costs computed at EOQ level.

    Formulas

    • reorderPoint = avgDailySales × (leadTime + safetyDays)
    • safetyQty = avgDailySales × safetyDays
    • annualDemand = avgDailySales × daysInYear
    • EOQ = sqrt((2 × demand × orderCost) / (unitCost × holding%/100))
    • holding = (EOQ/2) × unitCost × holding%/100
    • ordering = (demand/EOQ) × orderCost

    Important assumptions

    • Reorder point = avgDailySales × (leadTimeDays + safetyStockDays).
    • Safety stock quantity = avgDailySales × safetyStockDays.
    • Annual demand = avgDailySales × daysInYear.
    • EOQ = sqrt( (2 × annualDemand × orderingCost) / (costPerUnit × holdingCostPercent/100) ).
    • Annual holding = (EOQ/2) × costPerUnit × holdingCostPercent/100.
    • Annual ordering = (annualDemand / EOQ) × orderingCost.
    • Demand and lead time assumed constant — add buffer via safetyStockDays for variability.

    Worked example

    10 units/day with 7 day lead time

    You sell 10 per day, lead time 7 days, safety 5 days, $15 unit cost, $50 per order, 25% holding cost, 365 days.

    Reorder at 120 units (84 for lead time + 50 safety). Safety stock 50 units. Annual demand 3,650 units. EOQ about 311 units. Holding about $584 and ordering about $586 yearly at EOQ, total around $1,170 tied to this SKU.
