How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the chemical name, CAS number, and current quantity on hand.
- Set the minimum stock threshold to trigger a reorder alert.
- Input the average monthly usage rate to calculate days of supply remaining.
- Review the reorder quantity and estimated reorder date.
- Use the output to maintain an up-to-date chemical inventory log for safety and compliance.
How the result changes with Avg cost per unit ($)
| Avg cost per unit ($) | Total inventory value ($) |
|---|---|
| 5,000 | $1,000,000.00 |
| 17,500 | $3,500,000.00 |
| 32,500 | $6,500,000.00 |
| 45,000 | $9,000,000.00 |
What each input means
- Number of unique chemicals
- Total number of distinct chemical products in inventory.
- Avg cost per unit ($)
- Average cost per unit (bottle, container, etc.).
- Current stock (units)
- Total units currently in inventory across all chemicals.
- Monthly usage (units)
- Average units consumed per month across all chemicals.
- Avg shelf life (months)
- Average shelf life of chemicals in months from date of receipt.
- Supplier lead time (days)
- Average number of days between ordering and delivery.
- Safety stock (%)
- Safety stock as percentage of monthly usage to buffer against variability.
What each result means
- Total inventory value ($)
- Current total value of chemical inventory.
- Monthly consumption ($)
- Dollar value of chemicals consumed per month.
- Annual consumption ($)
- Projected annual chemical spend at current usage rate.
- Months of supply left
- How many months current stock will last at current usage.
- Reorder point (units)
- Reorder when stock falls to this level (lead time demand + safety stock).
- Units above reorder point
- Surplus above reorder point. Negative means reorder now.
- Expiration waste risk ($)
- Value of stock at risk of expiring before use at current consumption.
- Inventory turnover ratio
- Annual usage divided by current stock. Higher = more efficient.
- Economic order quantity
- Optimal order size minimizing total ordering + holding costs (EOQ model).
- Diversity index
- Unique chemicals per $1,000 of inventory value.
How this is calculated
Worked example, using the default values
- Identify Input Parameters4 parametersNumber of unique chemicals = 50, Avg cost per unit ($) = 45, Current stock (units) = 200, Monthly usage (units) = 30 = 7 input(s) provided
- Calculate Total inventory valueTotal inventory value = currentStockUnits * avgCostPerUnit9000 = $9,000
- Calculate Monthly consumptionMonthly consumption = monthlyUsageUnits * avgCostPerUnit1350 = $1,350
- Calculate Annual consumptionAnnual consumption = monthlyConsumptionCost * 1216200 = $16,200
