Cash & Working Capital
Inventory Turnover Calculator
How many times a year your inventory sells through — slow turns are cash sitting on shelves.
Inputs
- Cost of goods sold (period)
- Average inventory value
- Period length
How to use this calculator
- Enter your cost of goods sold and your average inventory value for the period.
- The result is how many times you sold through and replaced stock.
- Higher turnover ties up less cash; very low turnover signals dead stock and markdown risk.
What each term means
- Inventory turnover
- How many times you sell and replace your average inventory in a period.
- Days of inventory
- The period divided by turnover: how long stock sits before selling.
- Dead stock
- Inventory that turns so slowly it ties up cash and risks markdowns.
