Reorder Point Calculator
The Reorder Point is the threshold at which you should order more products to prevent shortages while also avoiding overstock. That way bulk ordering would not be a waste of time. But remembering the reorder point formula isn't always convenient.
This Reorder Point Calculator will help you quickly calculate when you should reorder a specific product. Simply fill out the fields and click the Calculate button to determine your reorder point.
The Reorder Point is calculated using this equation:
Reorder Point = (Lead Time + Safety Stock + Basic Stock) * Unit Sales Per Day
Lead Time:
The number of days between issuing a purchase order and receiving the product(s).
Safety Stock:
The number of days’ worth of inventory you keep in case of emergency.
Basic Stock:
The number of days’ worth of inventory you normally keep on hand.
Unit Sales Per Day:
The average number of products you sell each day.
