Planogram Calculator

A facing is one physical slot on the shelf wide enough for a single product, so a shelf that fits 22.7 facings' worth of width can only actually hold 22 full facings — the remaining 0.7 facings' worth of space can't display a partial product. That leftover space is reported separately as Remaining Spacing rather than silently discarded.

Remaining Spacing is the shelf space left over after fitting as many whole facings as possible at your Avg Facing Width — it's the gap a merchandiser can use for shelf dividers, signage, end-cap treatments, or simply as buffer, rather than trying to force in another product that doesn't fit cleanly.

That's the standard merchandising practice this calculator assumes — giving top-selling SKUs a higher share of facings than their share of the total product count, since more visible shelf space for a proven seller typically drives incremental sales. The right allocation percentage varies by category and by how concentrated your sales actually are among a few SKUs, so treat the High-Velocity SKU Allocation % input as a starting assumption to tune against your own sales data.

Avg Facings per SKU is simply Total Facings divided evenly across Number of Products (SKUs) — an equal-share baseline that ignores sales velocity entirely. The High-Velocity and Standard Facings outputs instead weight the allocation by the High-Velocity SKU Allocation % you set, so comparing the two shows how much extra space top sellers get relative to a flat, equal-space approach.

No — it estimates how many facings the section holds in total and how that space should split between high-velocity and standard SKUs, which is the planning step before building an actual planogram. Placing specific SKUs in specific slots (eye level, end caps, cross-merchandising adjacencies) still requires a dedicated planogram tool or manual layout work using these facing counts as a budget.
