Working Capital in Stock
Inventory Carrying Cost Calculator
Inventory is the cheapest place to hide a planning problem. Enter your average stock and its carrying rate — cost of goods sold is optional, for turns and days on hand — and see what holding that stock costs you every year.
Calculator
Tell us about your stock:
Raw material, WIP and finished goods at cost, averaged over the year.
Capital cost, storage, handling, insurance and obsolescence as a share of stock value.
From the P&L, at cost — not sales value. Optional — powers the turns and days-on-hand figures below.
Discrete manufacturers with stable demand run 30–45 days of inventory. Above 90 days, planning is being done with stock instead of information.
