Average Order Value (AOV) Calculator
Revenue ÷ orders for coherent slice/time—watch tax and shipping conventions.
Open calculator →Inventory Turnover Calculator
COGS over a period divided by average inventory value on hand.
Overview
Shows how fast cash cycles through stock—seasonal peaks or one-off buys will skew averages if you pick the wrong inventory baseline.
When to use this calculator
- When cash feels stuck in bins and procurement wants a shorthand
- Before seasonality blows up average inventory if you freeze the wrong month
- When consignment stock should remain out of the inventory base
- When slow movers hide inside one blended SKU class
Rule of thumb
One-time buys or stocking for seasonality inflate average inventory and mute turnover.
Terms used in this calculator
- AOV
- Average order size: slice revenue divided by order count—with tax/shipping counted the same each month.
- Gross margin
- Sales minus COGS as a percentage of revenue—nothing below gross profit counted here.

How to interpret this result
COGS ÷ average inventory value summarizes how quickly stock cycles through.
Seasonality, one-off buys, consignment exclusions, or channel pooling change what “average” means.
Higher turnover often means tighter days-on-hand—not automatically healthier cash without payables context.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting seasonal lifts that balloon average inventory.
- Counting inventory you technically do not own on consignment.
- Blending warehouses with radically different SKU economics.
What to do next
Hop to margin or product pricing calculators when slow stock ties to outdated cost assumptions.
How to improve this result
- Trim slow movers before stacking new products on the same shelf.
- Forecast lead times that throw off how fast inventory should turn.
- Separate channels when shared inventory pools mislead averages.
