It calculates the inventory turnover ratio based on your cost of goods sold (COGS) and average inventory, giving you a clear picture of your stock movement and sales efficiency.

What is Inventory Turnover?
Inventory Turnover is a financial metric that shows how many times a company sells and replaces its inventory over a specific period, typically a year. It reflects how efficiently you’re managing your stock in relation to sales.
A higher turnover indicates strong sales or effective inventory control, while a lower turnover may signal overstocking, weak sales, or obsolete inventory.
Inventory Turnover Ratio Formula:
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) ÷ Average Inventory
Example:
- COGS = ₹5,00,000
- Opening Inventory = ₹1,00,000
- Closing Inventory = ₹1,50,000
- Average Inventory = ₹1,25,000
- Inventory Turnover = ₹5,00,000 ÷ ₹1,25,000 = 4
This means the business sold and replenished its inventory four times during the period.
