A practical planning example

Shopify reorder point calculator

Calculate a simple reorder trigger and rounded replenishment quantity using demand, lead time, safety stock and case packs.

This educational calculator runs in your browser. It does not upload the values or reproduce ReOrder's full forecast, supplier-minimum or cash-allocation logic. Only count inbound stock that will be usable in time.

Your example

Reorder trigger
54 units
Inventory position
29 units
Target including review period
82 units
Unrounded requirement
53 units
Rounded quantity to review
60 units

The example inventory position is at or below the reorder trigger.

This is a quantity for review, not an instruction to place an order.

The calculation

Reorder trigger = daily demand × lead time + safety stock.

Target = daily demand × (lead time + review period) + safety stock.

Requirement = the greater of zero or target − available − reliable inbound. Round that requirement up to the next full case pack.

Default illustration: 2 × 21 + 12 gives a 54-unit trigger. The 35-day target is 82, and subtracting 29 available leaves 53 units. A case pack of 12 rounds that to 60. These are illustrative figures, not merchant results.

Go beyond a single average

Demand changes, stockouts, supplier minimums and available cash need a fuller review. Read the reorder-point guide and ReOrder's forecasting methods.
