    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. 1Multiply average daily sales by lead time days for demand during lead time.
    2. 2Add buffer safety stock to get reorder point in units.
    3. 3Multiply reorder point by unit cost for tied capital value.
    4. 4Divide reorder point by avg daily sales for days of cover.
    5. 5Divide safety stock by max daily sales for peak coverage days.

    Formulas

    • leadTimeDemand = avgDailySales × leadTimeDays
    • reorderPoint = leadTimeDemand + safetyStock
    • reorderValue = reorderPoint × unitCost
    • daysCover = reorderPoint / avgDailySales
    • safetyCoverage = safetyStock / maxDailySales

    Important assumptions

    • Lead time demand = avgDailySales × leadTimeDays.
    • Reorder point = lead time demand + safety stock.
    • Reorder value = reorder point × unitCost.
    • Days of cover = reorderPoint / avgDailySales.
    • Safety coverage at peak = safetyStock / maxDailySales if maxDailySales > 0.

    Worked example

    10 sales/day with 7 day lead time

    You sell 10/day average, 18/day peak, lead time 7 days, safety stock 30, cost $12.50. Lead time demand 10×7=70. Reorder point 100 units. Value $1,250. Coverage 10 days total, safety covers 1.67 days at max 18/day.

    Lead time demand 70 units from 10/day × 7 days. Add safety 30 gives reorder at 100 units. At $12.50 cost, $1,250 tied when you reorder. Days of cover 100/10=10 days versus 7 day lead gives 3 day buffer. Safety alone: 30/18=1.67 days at peak demand, low rest time — consider 50 units safety for 2.8 days peak coverage.
