    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 turnover ratio as cogsForPeriod divided by averageInventoryValue.
    2. 2Calculate period days as periodMonths times 30.44.
    3. 3Calculate days to sell inventory for the period as periodDays divided by turnover ratio.
    4. 4Calculate annualized turnover as turnoverRatio times 12 divided by periodMonths.
    5. 5Calculate annual days to sell as 365 divided by annualized turnover.
    6. 6Determine efficiency rating: >12 excellent, 6-12 good, 4-6 average, 2-4 slow, <2 very slow for most Shopify categories.

    Formulas

    • Turnover = COGS ÷ AvgInventory
    • PeriodDays = months ×30.44
    • DaysToSell = PeriodDays ÷ turnover
    • Annual turnover = turnover ×12 ÷ periodMonths
    • Annual days to sell = 365 ÷ annualTurnover

    Important assumptions

    • Turnover ratio = COGS for period divided by average inventory value.
    • Days to sell for period = period days divided by turnover ratio.
    • Period days = period months times 30.44 average days per month.
    • Annualized turnover = turnover ratio × (12 ÷ periodMonths).
    • Annual days to sell = 365 ÷ annualized turnover when turnover >0.
    • Efficiency rating based on annualized turnover benchmarks for Shopify physical goods.

    Worked example

    $15k COGS over 3 months with $5k avg inventory

    COGS $15,000 for 3 months, average inventory $5,000.

    Turnover ratio 3.0 for quarter. Period days ~91 days, days to sell ~30 days. Annualized turnover 12, annual days to sell ~30. Rating excellent to good for Shopify. Monthly reorder suggestion $5,000 COGS to maintain pace.
