How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter total shelf length (ft) and number of products (SKUs) to be planogrammed.
  2. Set high-velocity SKU allocation % (how much shelf space for fast movers).
  3. Review total facings, high-velocity facings, standard facings, and facings per product.
  4. Use facings data to build or validate your planogram in your space planning tool.
  5. Rebalance allocations based on sales velocity data -- high-velocity items deserve more facings.

What each input means

Total Shelf Length (ft)
Linear feet of available shelf space for the section
Number of Products (SKUs)
Total distinct SKUs to place on the shelf
High-Velocity SKU Allocation %
Percentage of facings allocated to top-selling products
Avg Facing Width (in)
Average width of a single product facing in inches

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Total Shelf Length (ft) = 8, Number of Products (SKUs) = 12, High-Velocity SKU Allocation % = 30, Avg Facing Width (in) = 4 = 4 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Total Facings
    Total Facings
    24 = 24
  3. Calculate High-Velocity Facings
    High-Velocity Facings
    7 = 7
  4. Calculate Standard Facings
    Standard Facings
    17 = 17
