Reorder point calculator
When to reorder, covering lead-time demand, review period and safety stock.
Methodology
Reorder point = (average daily demand × lead time) + (average daily demand × review period) + safety stock. The review-period term matters only under periodic review, where a replenishment opportunity is missed until the next review; set it to zero for continuous review. Cover = current stock ÷ average daily demand, in days. The reorder signal fires when current stock is at or below the reorder point. The model uses average demand and a fixed lead time: it does not model demand spikes, supplier reliability, minimum order quantities, batch sizing, or order-up-to levels. Safety stock should come from a variability model rather than being guessed. You supply every input: this site holds no live freight rates, transit times, or duty tables, and never estimates them for you. Results are an orientation model, not a quotation, and not customs, tax, insurance, or financial advice. Confirm duty rates, VAT treatment, and carrier terms with the relevant authority or provider before relying on them.
These calculations are informational estimates based on headline rates and transparent assumptions — not tax, accounting, or legal advice. Verify with a qualified local advisor before relying on the results.
Data limitations
- Logistics figures are operator-supplied inputs, not market data. GeoBusinessIQ holds no freight rates, transit times, capacity, or throughput data and does not estimate them — every result reflects only the figures you enter.
