Reorder Point Calculator
Find the stock level at which to reorder.
When to reorder
Order too late and you run out; order too early and cash sits in stock. The reorder point is the inventory level that triggers a new order so fresh stock arrives just in time.
With 50 units used a day, a 7-day lead time, and 100 units of safety stock, the reorder point is 450 units. When stock drops to that level, it is time to place the order.
