How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the original retail price ($), cost ($), and current inventory age in weeks.
- Set remaining weeks in the selling season and your target sell-through percentage.
- Review the recommended markdown percentage to achieve sell-through before season end.
- Check new price, remaining margin, and projected gross margin after markdown.
- Apply markdown early in the season for better sell-through -- deep late-season markdowns sacrifice more margin.
