Inventory turnover calculator.
Ratio, days, and dollars at once.
Three inputs. Three numbers. Plotted against 16 cited industry medians. Built for the CFO sitting under a covenant review, not the SaaS landing-page tourist. The design is a working-capital terminal on purpose: monospaced figures, scanlines, no decoration you cannot defend to the audit team.
What is the inventory turnover calculator?
An inventory turnover calculator divides annualised cost of goods sold by average inventory to return three values: turnover ratio, days inventory outstanding, and the working capital freed if the user lifted their ratio to the median for their industry. This tool benchmarks against 16 industry medians from NYU Stern, Census ARTS, and RMA, cited inline.
