Units on hand Expected sell-through rate (%) Selling price per unit ($) Landed COGS per unit ($) Fulfillment cost per unit ($)

Enter inventory and unit economics to calculate projected gross profit.

Formula: sellable units times unit gross profit after landed cost and fulfillment.

What this tool does

Inventory can look like an asset while quietly becoming a storage-fee subscription. This calculator estimates gross profit from the units you expect to sell after landed COGS and fulfillment.

How to use it

Use physical units on hand, not ordered units that have not arrived. For sell-through, use the percentage you realistically expect to move before markdowns. Landed COGS should include freight, duties, and prep costs.

How to use the result

Compare projected gross profit to the cash locked in inventory. If the result is thin, slow the reorder, raise price, or bundle the SKU before adding ad spend. Feed the same SKU into your profit calc process before a reorder decision.
