Inventory Turnover Formula

The inventory turnover ratio is calculated using the following formula:

Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory

Where:

  • Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) = Direct costs of producing goods or services
  • Average Inventory = (Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory) / 2

Interpreting Inventory Turnover

A higher inventory turnover ratio indicates that a company is efficiently managing its inventory and selling its products quickly. A low ratio may indicate that a company has excess inventory or slow-moving products.

Factors Affecting Inventory Turnover

Factors that can affect a company's inventory turnover ratio include changes in sales, inventory levels, and supply chain management practices.
