How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) and Unit Price at MOQ from your supplier.
  2. Set Unit Price Below MOQ — the higher price if you order fewer than the MOQ.
  3. Enter Desired Quantity and Storage Cost per Excess Unit per month.
  4. Review Cost at Desired Qty versus Cost at MOQ and Total Price Savings from committing to the MOQ.
  5. Check Break-Even Quantity and Excess Storage Cost to decide if the MOQ economics make sense for your volume.
